    摘要: A array of multi-bit Read Only Memory (ROM) cells is in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type with a first concentration. Each ROM cell has a first and second regions of a second conductivity type spaced apart from one another in the substrate. A channel is between the first and second regions. The channel has three portions, a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. A gate is spaced apart and is insulated from at least the second portion of the channel. Each ROM cell has one of a plurality of N possible states, where N is greater than 2. The state of each ROM cell is determined by the existence or absence of extensions or halos that are formed in the first portion of the channel and adjacent to the first region and/or in the third portion of the channel adjacent to the second region. These extensions and halos are formed at the same time that extensions or halos are formed in MOS transistors in other parts of the integrated circuit device, thereby reducing cost. The array of ROM cells are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, with ROM cells in the same row having their gates connected together. ROM cells in the same column have the first regions connected in a common first column, and second regions connected in common second column. Finally, ROM cells in adjacent columns to one side share a common first column, and cells in adjacent columns to another side share a common second column.

    摘要: A split gate NAND flash memory structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. The NAND structure comprises a first region of a second conductivity type and a second region of the second conductivity type in the substrate, spaced apart from the first region, thereby defining a channel region therebetween. A plurality of floating gates are spaced apart from one another and each is insulated from the channel region. A plurality of control gates are spaced apart from one another, with each control gate insulated from the channel region. Each of the control gate is between a pair of floating gates and is capacitively coupled to the pair of floating gates. A plurality of select gates are spaced apart from one another, with each select gate insulated from the channel region. Each select gate is between a pair of floating gates.
