  • Patent number: 11930629
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells each including an access transistor, a pull-up transistor, and a pull-down transistor on a substrate, a first line layer on the memory cells and including a first lower landing pad and a second lower landing pad, a second line layer on the first line layer and including a ground line having an opening and an upper landing pad in the opening, and a third line layer including a word line on the second line layer. The ground line is electrically connected through the first lower landing pad to a terminal of the pull-down transistor. The word line is electrically connected through the upper landing pad and the second lower landing pad to a terminal of the access transistor.

  • Patent number: 11348913
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a first region and a second region, memory transistors on the first region, a first interconnection layer on the memory transistors and including first interconnection lines, and a second interconnection layer on the first interconnection layer and including second interconnection lines. The second interconnection lines on the first region include a first line extending along a first direction and spaced from the second region by a first distance along the first direction, and a second line extending along the first direction, spaced from the first line along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and having a width smaller than that of the first line. The first line includes a protrusion extending along a third direction toward the substrate. The protrusion is spaced from the second region by a second distance along the first direction greater than the first distance.
