Abstract

A memory cell array includes a first and a second column of memory cells, a first and a second bit line, a source line and a first set of vias. The second bit line includes a first conductive line located on a first metal layer, and a second conductive line located on a second metal layer. The first and second conductive lines overlap a source of a transistor of a memory cell of the second column of memory cells. The source line is coupled to the first and second column of memory cells. The first set of vias is electrically coupled to the first and second conductive line. A pair of vias of the first set of vias is located above where the first conductive line overlaps each memory cell of the second column of memory cells.
