Bit Rot?

Is there a good description of the various forms of ROM/PROM/EPROM bit rot
phenomena on the web somewhere? Or could someone provide a good
description?

I know in the case of EPROMs the charge will eventually "leak". And with
masked ROMs and PROMs the "fuse" can actual re-grow and turn a 0 into a 1.

We've discussed it briefly before. More detailed information would be
appreciated. Thanks!
