Abstract

A process of fabricating a non-volatile read only memory device (ROM) wherein the conductive word lines have desirable very narrow widths and are closely spaced. The invention provides a process for forming word lines with a smaller width and line pitch than is possible with conventional processes. A first set of word lines is formed. Next, a second set of word lines is formed in between the first word lines using oxide spacers to define the second word lines.
