Abstract
A memory circuit includes a substrate with a front side and a back side opposite the front side. An interconnect structure is situated on or over the substrate and has first and second metal layers and a via electrically connecting the first and second metal layers. A word line driver circuit is configured to output a word line enable signal to a word line of a memory array. The word line driver circuit has an inverter circuit configured to receive a word line signal, and an enable transistor electrically connected to an output of the inverter circuit by a metal line that includes the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the via.
