A semiconductor memory device is disclosed. The device is comprised of a plurality of word lines; a plurality of bit lines arranged in perpendicular to the word lines. In addition, a plurality of supply voltage lines extend in the same direction as the bit lines. Also, a plurality of first ground voltage lines are arranged in the same direction as the bit lines. Further, a plurality of second ground voltage lines are arranged in the same direction as the word lines. A plurality of memory cells are each connected between one of the word lines and one of the bit lines. Here, the ground voltage lines are arranged in a matrix shape to reduce the resistance of the ground voltage line and secure the margin between the supply voltage level and the ground voltage level of the data latched by the memory cells to thereby prevent an operational failure of the device.
