Abstract
A memory array including a diffusion layer, a poly layer, a metal one layer, a metal two layer, and a contact. The diffusion layer comprises diffusion lines extending in a first direction. The poly layer comprises poly lines extending in the first direction and being arranged on top of and insulated from the diffusion layer. The metal one layer comprises metal one lines extending in the first direction and being arranged on top of and insulated from the poly layer. The metal two layer comprises a metal two line extending in the first direction and being arranged on top of and insulated from the metal one layer. The contact extends through the poly layer, and connects a metal one line to a diffusion line. A poly line further extends in a second direction to bend around the contact such that a predetermined distance separates the poly lines from the contact.
