Abstract

The present invention discloses a semiconductor memory device and a method of signal line arrangement. The semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of memory cell array blocks, a number of pairs of local data input/output lines arranged along a longitudinal direction in each of the memory cell array blocks, multiple column selecting signal lines arranged along an orthogonal direction, and a number of twisted pairs of global data input/output lines arranged adjacent to and along the same direction as the column selecting signal line. Therefore, reducing signal coupling among the column selecting signal line and the pair of global data input/output lines.
