Abstract
A memory cell array includes local input/output logic configured to access memory cells in memory banks. The memory cell array includes inner memory banks disposed in either direction from the local input/output logic. The memory cell array includes outer memory banks disposed beyond the inner memory banks in either direction from the local input/output logic. The memory cell array further includes local bitlines that run in a lower metallization layer of each of the memory banks. The local bitlines of the outer memory banks connect to the local input/output logic via an upper metallization layer across regions of the inner memory banks.
