Abstract:
Noise attributed to signals of a word line, in first and second bit lines which are overlapped with the same word line in memory cells stacked in a three-dimensional manner is reduced in a storage device with a folded bit-line architecture. The storage device includes a driver circuit including a sense amplifier, and first and second memory cell arrays which are stacked each other. The first memory cell array includes a first memory cell electrically connected to the first bit line and a first word line, and the second memory cell array includes a second memory cell electrically connected to the second bit line and a second word line. The first and second bit lines are electrically connected to the sense amplifier in the folded bit-line architecture. The first word line, first bit line, second bit line, and second word line are disposed in this manner over the driver circuit.
