Abstract

There is provided a bit line equalizing circuit including: an active region; a first bit line disposed on the active region in a first direction; a second bit line disposed on the active region in the first direction; a gate pattern including a first pattern disposed on the active region in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a second pattern extended from one side of the first pattern to be disposed in the first direction, and formed in a stair shape; a first contact disposed at one side of the first pattern and one side of the second pattern, and configured to connect the active region and the first bit line; a second contact disposed at one side of the first pattern and the other side of the second pattern, and configured to connect the active region and the second bit line; and a third contact disposed at the other side of the first pattern, and configured to provide a predetermined voltage to the active region.
