Abstract
A semiconductor read-only memory device includes first and second MOS field effect mode transistors (MOSFET) as memory elements storing either one of binary values of binary information. The first MOSFET has such a relatively long effective gate length that it becomes conductive upon receipt of a first relatively high gate voltage applied thereto as a memory selection signal and becomes non-conductive upon receipt of a second relatively low gate voltage. The second MOSFET, on the other hand, has such a relatively short effective gate length that it becomes conductive whether the first or second gate voltage is applied thereto.
