Abstract:
A sense amplifier (SA) comprises a semiconductor substrate having an oxide definition (OD) region, a pair of SA sensing devices, a SA enabling device, and a sense amplifier enabling signal (SAE) line for carrying an SAE signal. The pair of SA sensing devices have the same poly gate length Lg as the SA enabling device, and they all share the same OD region. When enabled, the SAE signal turns on the SA enabling device to discharge one of the pair of SA sensing devices for data read from the sense amplifier.

Claim (Index 14):
A method, comprising:\n forming an oxide definition (OD) region for a sense amplifier (SA) on a semiconductor substrate; forming a pair of SA sensing devices on the OD region; forming an SA enabling device sharing the same OD region as the pair of SA sensing devices; and forming a sense amplifier enabling signal (SAE) line for carrying an SAE signal to turn on the SA enabling device to discharge one of the pair of SA sensing devices for a data read from the sense amplifier, wherein the pair of SA sensing devices are placed centrally in a layout of the OD region and the SA enabling device is placed outside of the pair of SA sensing devices toward an edge of the layout of the OD region.
