    Abstract: A memory device includes a first sub wordline driver including a first active region connected to a first wordline through a first direct contact, and a first transistor connected to a first gate line, the first gate line and the first wordline extending in a first direction, and a second sub wordline driver including a second active region connected to a second wordline through a second direct, the second direct contact and first direct contact extending in parallel in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. A second transistor is connected to a second gate line. The second gate line extends in the first direction. A third wordline driven by a third sub wordline driver is between the first wordline and the second wordline.

    Abstract: A sub-word-line driver and semiconductor memory devices including the same are provided. The sub-word-line driver may include a word line pull-up transistor, a word line pull-down transistor, and a keeping transistor configured to maintain a word line at a specified voltage level. The sub-word-line driver may include a peripheral active region on a substrate, a first peripheral gate electrode that corresponds to a gate node of the word line pull-down transistor on the peripheral active region, a second peripheral gate electrode that corresponds to a gate node of the keeping transistor on the peripheral active region, and a first lower contact coupled to a first region of the peripheral active region. A first (VBB) voltage from the first region may be supplied to a source node of the keeping transistor.

    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.
