According to one embodiment, a one-time programmable (OTP) device having a lateral diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) structure comprises a pass gate including a pass gate electrode and a pass gate dielectric, and a programming gate including a programming gate electrode and a programming gate dielectric. The programming gate is spaced from the pass gate by a drain extension region of the LDMOS structure. The LDMOS structure provides protection for the pass gate when a programming voltage for rupturing the programming gate dielectric is applied to the programming gate electrode. A method for producing such an OTP device comprises forming a drain extension region, fabricating a pass gate over a first portion of the drain extension region, and fabricating a programming gate over a second portion of the drain extension region.

A read-only memory includes a plurality of storage units arranged in an array. The read-only memory includes two kinds of storage units with different structures, the two kinds of storage units with different structures are a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor. A source and a drain of the first MOS transistor have the same type, a source and a drain of the second MOS transistor have inverse type. These two kinds of MOS transistors can be used to store binary 0 and 1 respectively. In the manufacturing method of the read-only memory, the same type of drain and source can be manufactured simultaneously, no extra mask plate is needed, so the extra mask plate of a conventional read-only memory can be saved.

A method of manufacturing a NOR-type mask ROM device includes forming a first gate electrode for an OFF cell and a second gate electrode for an ON cell on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. To code the mask ROM device, a plurality of source/drain regions is formed by implanting impurities of a second conductivity type, opposite the first conductivity type, into the semiconductor substrate adjacent only to one side of the first gate electrode and adjacent to both sides of the second gate electrode. To prevent misalignment of a bit line contact hole with a contact region, additional impurities are implanted only into a bit line contact region of the mask ROM device region. When a semiconductor device formed on the same substrate as the mask ROM device includes a double diffused region, additional implantation for both may be realized simultaneously.

A multi-bit Read Only Memory (ROM) cell has a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type with a first concentration. A first and second regions of a second conductivity type spaced apart from one another are 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. The ROM cell has one of a plurality of N possible states, where N is greater than 2. The possible states of the ROM cell are 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.

In a mask ROM, bit lines 1 composed of a diffused region formed in a semiconductor substrate are formed in such a zigzag pattern that in a region where each of the bit lines overlaps word lines 2 formed of a patterned conductive film formed on an oxide film covering the diffused region of the bit lines 1, the bit line is perpendicular to the word lines, and in a region where each of the bit lines does not overlap the word lines, the bit line has a predetermined angle to the word lines, with the result that channel regions of memory cell transistors are located in a checker pattern. Thus, it is possible to minimize influence of a code ion implanted impurity diffused region 3A to a low-threshold memory cell transistor C.

The mask ROM for storing quaternary data that enables a short turn around time, makes refining cell sizes simple, and that enables stable reading of data. Gaps are formed between word lines in the memory cell transistors and two n+ diffusion areas. n+ impurities are doped into these gaps in accordance with quaternary write data when data is written. A current runs between these diffusion areas only when one of these two areas into which impurities have been doped is used as a drain. Accordingly, quaternary data can be read by reading once when one diffusion area is a source and the other diffusion area is a drain and by reading again when the first diffusion area is used as a drain and the other as a source.
