  • Patent number: 7274612
    Abstract: A high-density DRAM in a MTBL method which reduces interference noise between bit lines is provided. Duplication of sense amplifiers (SA) and bit switches (BSW) in a conventional MTBL method is eliminated, and one line of sense amplifiers and bit switches (BSW/SA) is arranged between cell areas. Specifically, arrays are horizontally moved and vertically cumulated so as to reduce the areas. Bit line pairs to be connected are alternately interchanged above and below, every one horizontally aligned sense amplifier (SA) such that there is only one bit line pair connected to each sense amplifier. Bit lines of a bit line pair 11 cross at one place on the way, and from the cross, a space between the bit lines is wider. Further, bit lines of a bit line pair 16 do not cross each other, and a space between the bit lines is wider on the way.
