Abstract
A semiconductor memory structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of DRAM (dynamic random access memory) cells, a bit line, a sense amplifier, and a local word line. The semiconductor substrate has a top surface. Each DRAM cell includes an access transistor and a storage capacitor. The bit line has a first terminal extended along the plurality of DRAM cells to a second terminal, and the bit line is coupled to each access transistor of the plurality of DRAM cells. The sense amplifier is coupled to the first terminal of the bit line. The local word line is connected to a gate conductive region of an access transistor of a first DRAM cell in the plurality of DRAM cells. A rising time or a falling time of a voltage signal in the local word line is less than 4 ns.
