Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a memory cell, one or more logic cells configured to provide logic function to the memory cell, and an interconnect structure disposed over the memory cell and the one or more logic cells. The interconnect structure includes a bit line, a bit line bar, a first voltage line, and a second voltage line located in a same metal line layer of the interconnect structure. At least one of the bit line and the bit line bar extends from inside a boundary of the one or more logic cells and into a boundary of the memory cell. At least one of the first and second voltage lines extends from inside the boundary of the one or more logic cells and into the boundary of the memory cell.
