Abstract

A memory cell device having circuitry located between memory cell arrays comprises power and ground lines to the circuitry formed directly above the memory cell arrays. The power and ground lines are parallel and positioned in an adjacent alternating pattern such that a power line is positioned adjacent a ground line, which is positioned adjacent another power line and so on. Signal lines carrying signals to and from the circuitry are also formed directly above memory cell arrays.
