    Abstract: A mask read only memory (ROM) and a method of fabricating the same is provided. This mask ROM and related method is capable of reducing the pitch of buried impurity diffusion regions. In the mask ROM fabrication process, a gate insulation layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate, and parallel conductive layer patterns are formed on the gate insulation layer. These conductive layer patterns are separated from each other by a first predetermined interval and extend in the same direction. Ion implantation is then carried out using the conductive layer patterns as a mask to form buried impurity diffusion regions near the semiconductor substrate between the conductive layer patterns. A conductive layer for use in forming word lines is then formed over the entire surface of the resultant structure, and both the conductive layer and the conductive layer patterns are etched so as to form word lines and pad conductive layers. The word lines are formed to be parallel to each other, are separated from each other by a second predetermined interval, and extend in a direction perpendicular to the buried impurity diffusion regions. The pad conductive layers, which form ohmic contacts with the word lines, are formed in an island shape channel regions. These channel regions are defined as the areas between the buried impurity diffusion regions that are overlapped by the word lines.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flash memory device is characterized by preventing photoresist patterns from being formed directly on or removed directly from a surface of the substrate or the dielectric layer. This is accomplished by separately forming a control gate layer of transistors in a cell area of the substrate and a gate layer of transistors in a peripheral circuit area of the substrate. The method of the present invention includes the steps of forming in a peripheral circuit area of the substrate a gate insulating layer for both high and low voltage regions of the peripheral circuit area and then forming the gate conduction layer on the gate insulating layer. The method of the present invention further comprises the steps of forming in a cell area of the substrate a transistor structure composed of a tunneling gate insulating layer, a floating gate layer, a dielectric layer, and a control gate layer.
