Abstract: A bit-line sense amplifier includes an amplifying circuit, an isolation circuit, an offset cancellation circuit and an equalizer. The amplifying circuit is connected to a bit-line and a complementary bit-line, senses a voltage difference between the bit-line and the complementary bit-line based on a first control signal and a second control signal, and adjusts a voltage of a sensing bit-line and a complementary sensing bit-line based on the voltage difference. The equalizer is connected to the sensing bit-line, and equalizes the bit-line and the complementary bit-line to a precharge voltage, based on an equalizing signal. The equalizer includes an equalizing transistor that has a source, a gate configured to receive the equalizing signal, and a drain. The source of the equalizing transistor is connected to a wiring structure through a direct contact, and the wiring structure is configured to receive the precharge voltage.

Abstract: A transistor with a shared gate structure includes an active area and a gate. The active area has a body extending in a first direction on a substrate, and a protrusion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction from a central portion of the body in the first direction. The gate is arranged above the active area to overlap a channel area of the active area, and has an inverted pi (II) structure that, from a plan view, surrounds on three sides but does not cover a portion of the active area that includes two corner portions of the active area. The active area is divided into a first active area and a second active area by a separation area extending in the second direction and separating the body and a portion of the protrusion. The protrusion is divided into a first portion separated into two sub-portions by the separation area and a second portion, wherein the first portion is between the body and the second portion in the second direction. Opposite ends of the body in the first direction corresponding to two drain areas, the second portion of the protrusion corresponding to a common source area, and the gate constitute two transistors, wherein the two transistors share the gate.
