Abstract
A bit line sense amplifier layout array includes N sense amplifier layout regions, which are arranged adjacent each other and have a sense amplifier, respectively. (N+1−i) bit lines and i complementary bit lines are arranged in an isense amplifier layout region among the sense amplifier layout regions. An ibit line among the (N+1−i) bit lines and an icomplementary bit line among the i complementary bit lines are connected to a sense amplifier formed in the isense amplifier layout region. The values N and i are natural numbers and i>=1 and <=N.
