Abstract
The semiconductor memory configuration has at least two memory cell arrays. The open area between the strips of the sense-amp transistors in the two memory cell arrays contains dummy transistors. This avoids proximity effects at the edges of the sense-amp transistors adjoining the open area. The sense-amp transistors and the dummy transistors are arranged in a common, continuous diffusion region.
