Abstract

The word conductors of a semiconductor integrated ROM are foreshortened where permitted by the organization of data in the memory. The space made available by the eliminated portions of the word conductors is used for electrical connection to the bit conductors from the sides of the array rather than at the ends. A space reduction of about thirty percent is achieved.
