Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method of automatically shifting from the fabrication of an EPROM cell to the fabrication of a ROM cell, which method is specifically intended for semiconductor electronic circuits having a resident memory and is of the type wherein the structure of at least one memory cell transistor is defined on a semiconductor substrate using photolithographic techniques including an active area and a channel region, the cell being adapted to acquire a logic state selected by the user. Advantageously, the conductivity of the active area is changed to suit the logical contents that the cell is intended to contain.
