Abstract
A fabrication method for a mask read-only memory includes forming an oxide layer on a provided substrate. A first mask layer is formed on the oxide layer, followed by performing a first ion implantation to form a plurality of equally spaced bit lines. A thermal process is further conducted to convert the oxide layer to a denser oxide layer. A plurality of word lines, which is perpendicular to the bit lines, is formed on the denser oxide layer. A second mask layer is formed on the plurality of the word lines, exposing the channel to be coded. A second ion implantation is conducted on the channel to complete the fabrication of the mask read-only memory device.
