Abstract

A device includes a substrate, a first sense amplifier disposed on the substrate, a first word line driver disposed on the substrate and situated adjacent the first sense amplifier in the x-direction, and a first memory array disposed above the first sense amplifier and above the first word line driver in the z-direction. A plurality of first conductive segments extend alternately in the x-direction and the y-direction, and are disposed between the first memory array and the first sense amplifier and configured to electrically connect the first sense amplifier to a first bit line of the first memory array. A plurality of second conductive segments extend alternately in the x-direction and the y-direction, and are disposed between the first memory array and the first word line driver and configured to electrically connect the first word line driver to a first word line of the first memory array.
