Abstract
A memory is provided that includes a negative bit line hybrid boost circuit for boosting a discharged bit line to a negative voltage during a negative bit line boost period for a write operation to a selected column in the memory. The hybrid boost circuit uses a charged gate capacitance of a boost transistor and a charged capacitance of a metal line capacitor to provide the negative bit line boost. Similarly, the memory may include a word line hybrid boost circuit that uses another boost transistor and another metal line capacitor for boosting a word line above a word line power supply voltage during the write operation.
