Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which ROM programming ion implantation is performed by utilizing the same mask as used for implanting dopant in MOS transistors. The ROM programming ion implantation is conducted under the same conditions as the MOS transistor forming step. Only a single mask needs to be modified for the programming, thus reducing cost and complexity of manufacturing the device.
