    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells arranged over a plurality of rows, the rows including a plurality of word lines, respectively, a first group of the memory cells coupled to an even-numbered one of the word lines and a second group of the memory cells coupled to an odd-numbered one of the word lines. The even-numbered word line is disposed in a first one of a plurality of metallization layers formed vertically above a substrate, wherein the even-numbered word line extends along a first lateral direction and includes a first stitch portion extending in a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction. The odd-numbered word line is disposed in a second one of the plurality of metallization layers, wherein the odd-numbered word line extends along the first lateral direction and includes a second stitch portion extending in the second lateral direction.

    Abstract: A memory circuit includes a memory array comprising a plurality of non-volatile memory cells, wherein the non-volatile memory cells are arranged along a plurality of access lines that extend along a lateral direction. The memory circuit includes a first access circuit physically disposed on a first side of the memory array in the lateral direction. The memory circuit includes a second access circuit physically disposed on a second side of the memory array in the lateral direction, the second side being opposite to the first side. When each of the non-volatile memory cells is configured to be programmed by at least a first current and a second current, the first current and second current flow through a first path and a second path, respectively. The first path at least comprises a portion on the first side and the second path at least comprises a portion on the second side.

    Abstract: A sensing amplifier, coupled to at least one memory cell, includes an output terminal and a reference terminal, a multiplexer circuit, and a plurality of reference cells having equal value. An output terminal of the multiplexer circuit is coupled to the reference terminal of the sensing amplifier. Each of the reference cell is coupled to each input node of the multiplexer circuit. The multiplexer circuit is controlled by a control signal to select one of the reference cells as a selected reference cell to couple to the reference terminal of the sensing amplifier when each read operation to the at least one memory cell is performed. The plurality of reference cells are selected sequentially and repeatedly, and the one of the reference cells is selected for one read operation to the at least one memory cell.

    Abstract: A memory device that includes a first memory cell, a second memory cell and a sense amplifier. The sense amplifier includes a first branch and a second branch and are configured to output a first voltage and a second voltage to the first memory and the second memory, respectively in a trimming operation. A first clamp device of the sense amplifier includes a first clamp transistor and a plurality of first trimming transistors that are coupled to the first clamp transistor in parallel. The gate terminals of the first clamp transistor and the plurality of first trimming transistors are biased by a fixed clamp voltage. Each of the plurality of first trimming transistors is selectively conducted to compensate a mismatch between the first voltage and the second voltage.
