  • Patent number: 11963348
    Abstract: A method of making a ROM structure includes the operations of forming an active area having a channel, a source region, and a drain region; depositing a gate electrode over the channel; depositing a conductive line over at least one of the source region and the drain region; adding dopants to the source region and the drain region of the active area; forming contacts to the gate electrode, the source region, and the drain; depositing a power rail, a bit line, and at least one word line of the integrated circuit against the contacts; and dividing the active area with a trench isolation structure to electrically isolate the gate electrode from the source region and the drain region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11723194
    Abstract: An integrated circuit read only memory (ROM) structure includes a first ROM transistor with a first gate electrode, a first source, and a first drain, and a second ROM transistor with a second gate electrode, a second source, and a second drain. A drain conductive line is over the first drain and the second drain, and is between the first drain and the second drain. The first drain, the drain conductive line and the second drain are between the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode, and a first trench isolation structure electrically isolates the first drain from the first source is below the first gate electrode.
