Abstract
A layout of a sense amplifier includes a pre-charge and equalizer area. A pre-charge transistor, an equalizer transistor and a gate line are disposed within the pre-charge and equalizer area. The gate line and the pre-charge transistor share a share plug. The share plug serves as a gate contact plug for the gate line and a source/drain contact plug for the pre-charge transistor.
