Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the area of an ROM cell by forming a through-hole between a first layer metal connected to a drain electrode for an MOSFET and the second layer metal of a bit line. CONSTITUTION:Source electrodes from the MOSFETs (A) and (B) forming the ROM cell are connected to a GND wiring 3, a gate electrode 2 constitutes a word line, the drain electrodes 1 are connected to the first layer metals 6, the bit lines 5a, 5b are constituted by the second layer metals, and the through-holes 14 are formed to the superposed sections of the first layer metals 6 and the second layer metals of the bit lines, thus lowering the potential of the drain- electrode bit line 5a of the ROM cell (A) to a low level. An effect through which the area of the cell is reduced is dispayed more than the case of a mask ROM being rewritten by the second layer metals because the mask ROM is rewritten by the through-holes.

In J(ROM), the slower the process of rewriting the %ROM data, the shorter the period from the determination of R, 0M data to the completion of the IC, which is advantageous, and the smaller the ROM cell size, the more advantageous it is. This is advantageous due to factors such as chip size.

As shown in Figure 1, the ROM in the case of two metal layers has a MOSFET that forms an R, 0M cell with the bit line of the second metal layer.
By connecting the open sound of the drain electrode with the metal of the second layer, the first output level is obtained, and by leaving it unconnected with the metal of the second layer! It was intended to obtain the full second output level, that is, to perform R (JM data penetration) in the second layer metal process.

However, in this conventional method, although the ROM data rewriting process is the final process, the connection point (through hole) between the first layer metal and second layer metal connected to the ROM cell must be separated from the bit line. However, the disadvantage is that the size of the cell becomes as large as the bit size.

Almost at W level. Also, if a through hole is not placed between the bit line and the first layer metal 6 whose drain is connected like a ROM cell, the line 5b will not be connected to the ROM cell drain electrode and will be connected to the word line 2. Even when the bit line 5b is selected, the potential of the bit line 5b is maintained at the hH4gh level. In this way, depending on whether or not to provide a through hole, it is possible to change the ROM data, and compared to the case where the data is rewritten using the second layer of metal in Fig. 1, it is possible to change the ROM data by the distance between the bit line and the through hole in Fig. 1. , the cell size can be reduced.
