Abstract
A memory device includes a first memory cell area having a first latch area where one or more electronic components are constructed for storing a value, and a first peripheral area surrounding the first latch area; and a second memory cell area being disposed adjacent to a first side of the first memory cell area, and having a second latch area where one or more electronic components are constructed for storing a value, and a second peripheral area surrounding the second latch area. One edge of the first memory cell area shifts away from its corresponding edge of the second memory cell area. Thus, the area or yield rate of the memory device can be adjusted.
