A non-volatile memory chip has word lines spaced a sub-F (sub-minimum feature size F) width apart with extensions of the word lines in at least two transition areas. Neighboring extensions are spaced at least F apart. The present invention also includes a method for word-line patterning of a non-volatile memory chip which includes generating sub-F word lines with extensions in transition areas for connecting to peripheral transistors from mask generated elements with widths of at least F. |
