Abstract

A layout arrangement for a semiconductor memory device provides additional space for locating an additional circuit device in a pitch limited circuit. A space or vacated area is created by laying out a circuit element in a manner in which the pitch of the circuit element and an adjacent circuit element is less than the pitch of two times the pitch of a connecting wire pair in a double-sided layout or less than the pitch of one connecting wire pair.
