Abstract: The present invention provides a Via Code Mask read-only memory comprising an array of transistors, and a plurality of bit lines and word lines, wherein the transistors in each row of the array are connected in series by connection of a drain/source of one transistor with a drain/source of another transistor. Both ends of the series of the transistors in each row of the array are connected to a supply voltage together. Each one of the bit lines is selectively connected to drain(s)/source(s) of one or more transistors in one corresponding column. Each one of the word lines connects together gates of the transistors in one corresponding row.
