Patent ID: 6838337

Claim:
A method of fabricating a memory device, said method comprising: fabricating at least one sense amplifier for sensing signals representing a charge of a memory cell of said memory device over a substrate said fabrication performed by the steps of; providing first and second transistors being of one of a p-channel and n-channel type, providing third and fourth transistors being of the other of said p-channel and n-channel type, connecting said first and third transistors with a first interconnect line, and connecting said second and fourth transistors with a second interconnect line, coupling said at least one sense amplifier to a common equalization node; and coupling a pair of digit lines to said at least one sense amplifier by said first and second interconnect lines, whereby said first and second transistors and said equalization node are on a first side of said pair of digit lines, and said third and fourth transistors are on a second side of said pair of digit lines.
