A semiconductor read only memory including a plurality of units, each of the plurality of units comprising:
- four vertically disposed buried bit lines located in parallel to each other and being formed in the substrate, and named first, second, third and fourth respectively;
- a plurality of horizontally disposed word lines located in parallel to each other and intersecting said four vertically disposed buried bit lines;
- a memory cell transistors array, located at intersections between said plurality of word lines and said four buried bit lines to form a memory cell matrix, wherein the intersections are the source and drain of the memory cell transistors and the channels are formed between the intersection portions, and a gate of each of said memory cell transistors is connected to one corresponding word line of said plurality of word lines;
- a buried main bit line having two ends being formed in said substrate, wherein between the first end of said buried main bit line and the first end of said second buried bit line is the first interval and between the second end of said buried main bit line and the first end of said fourth buried bit line is the second interval;
- a buried ground bit line having two ends being form in said substrate, wherein between the first end of said buried ground bit line and the second end of said fourth buried bit line is the third interval and between the second end of said buried ground bit line and the second end of the second buried bit line of the next unit is the fourth interval;
- two horizontally disposed up select bit lines located in parallel to each other, named first and second respectively, and said first up select bit line crosses said first interval, said third buried bit line and said buried main bit line, wherein the intersection portion of said first up select bit line and said first end of said buried main bit line and the intersection portion of said first up select bit line and said first end of said second buried bit line respectively forms the source and drain of select transistor and said first interval is the channel, on the other hand, said second up select bit line crosses said second interval and said second and third buried bit line, wherein the intersection portion of said second up select bit line and said second end of said buried main bit line and the intersection portion of said second up select bit line and said first end of said fourth buried bit line respectively forms the source and drain of select transistor and said second interval is the channel;
- and
- two horizontally disposed down select bit lines located in parallel to each other, named first and second respectively, and said first down select bit line crosses said third interval, and the first and third buried bit line of the next unit, wherein the intersection portion of said first down select bit line and said first end of said buried ground bit line and the intersection portion of said first down select bit line and said second end of said fourth buried bit line of said next unit respectively forms the source and drain of select transistor and said third interval is the channel, on the other hand, said second down select bit line crosses said buried ground bit line and the first buried bit line and the fourth interval of the next unit, wherein the intersection portion of said second down select bit line and said second end of said buried ground bit line and the intersection portion of said second down select bit line and said second end of said second buried bit line of said next unit respectively forms the source and drain of select transistor and said fourth interval is the channel.
