Abstract: A static random-access memory (SRAM) semiconductor device including a memory unit is provided. The memory unit includes a bit array arranged in rows and columns. The columns are defined by a plurality of bit line pairs connecting to a plurality of memory cells in the column. The memory unit also includes an edge area adjacent an edge row of the bit array, wherein the edge row includes a plurality of dummy memory cells. The memory unit further includes a plurality of bit line drivers adjacent the bit array and opposite the edge area. The bit line drivers are for driving the bit lines with data to the memory cells during a write operation. The dummy memory cells include a write assist circuit for each bit line pair.
