Abstract

A circuit comprises a first voltage line, a second voltage line parallel to the first voltage line, and a bit line between the first voltage line and the second voltage line. The bit line is separated from the first voltage line by a minimum distance allowed by a design rule. The bit line is closer to the first voltage line than to the second voltage line. A first capacitance value between the bit line and the first voltage line is different than a second capacitance value between the bit line and the second voltage line.
