Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A semiconductor memory includes a first bit cell within an integrated circuit (IC), and a second bit cell within the same IC. The first bit cell has a first layout, and the second bit cell has a second layout that differs from the first layout.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor memory, comprising: a first bit cell of a first memory type within an integrated circuit (IC), the first bit cell of the first memory type having a first layout, the first layout including a first word line disposed in a first conductive layer and extending in a first direction, and, and a plurality of bit lines disposed in a second conductive layer and extending in a second direction; and a second bit cell of the first memory type wit…
