Abstract
A silicon nitride read-only-memory structure is provided. The silicon nitride read-only-memory includes a control gate over a substrate, a source region and a drain region in the substrate on each side of the control gate, a charge-trapping layer between the control gate and the substrate and a channel layer in the substrate underneath the charge-trapping layer and between the source region and the drain region. The charge-trapping layer further includes an isolation region. The isolation region partitions the charge-trapping layer into a source side charge-trapping block and a drain side charge-trapping block so that a two-bit structure is formed.
