Abstract

A BLT can include a different channel length, channel width, or both to compensate for bit line loading effects. The channel length and/or channel width of the transistor structure can be configured so as to achieve a desired loading. Thus, the bit line transistor structure can improve global metal bit line loading uniformity and provide greater uniformity in bit line bias. Additionally, the greater uniformity in bit line bias can improve reliability.
