    摘要: A semiconductor read-only-memory (ROM) unit fabricated in large-scale-integrated form utilizing the formation of self-isolating bit-line surface regions of one conductivity type directly in a bulk region of the opposite conductivity type. Channel-stop regions of the same conductivity type as the bulk region are formed in the spaces between bit-line regions. Metallic word-lines overlying and orthogonal to the bit-line regions are formed, separated from the bit-line regions by an insulating layer. The memory cell comprises a single Schottky diode. Such a diode is made or not at each word-line/bit-line crossover location depending respectively on whether or not an aperture is formed in the insulating layer during fabrication to permit the word-line to contact a lightly doped portion of the bit-line. ROM units formed by this method are characterized by small area, high speed, low power dissipation and low cost.
