    Abstract: A hybrid open/folded bit line sense amplifier arrangement and accompanying circuitry primarily for use on a ULSI DRAM memory chip to reduce the area needed for a memory cell and eliminate noise between bit lines. The circuitry includes two memory arrays containing a plurality of memory cells interconnected by a plurality of bit lines and word lines. In the preferred embodiment, the memory cells are accessible on every two out of three bit lines encountered by a word line. A set of open bit line sense amplifiers each with two connectors, one multiplexed to a number of bit lines in the first array and the other multiplexed to a number of bit lines in the second array is provided. Each memory array has a set of folded bit line sense amplifiers with two connectors each connector multiplexed to a number of bit lines in the array. The control circuitry with multiplexing ensures that the connectors of the sense amplifiers access only one bit lines at a time. The accessed by the connectors of each folded line sense amplifier are non-adjacent and simultaneously therewith, a connector of an open bit sense amplifier accesses a bit line between the bit lines accessed by the folded sense amplifier. In the preferred embodiment each connector of a sense amplifier is multiplexed to three bit lines. In a second version the connectors are multiplexed to two bit lines.

    Abstract: A coil inductor and buck voltage regulator incorporating the coil inductor are provided which can be fabricated on a microelectronic element such as a semiconductor chip, or on an interconnection element such as a semiconductor, glass or ceramic interposer element. When energized, the coil inductor has magnetic flux extending in a direction parallel to first and second opposed surfaces of the microelectronic or interconnection element, and whose peak magnetic flux is disposed between the first and second surfaces. In one example, the coil inductor can be formed by first conductive lines extending along the first surface of the microelectronic or interconnection element, second conductive lines extending along the second surface of the microelectronic or interconnection element, and a plurality of conductive vias, e.g., through silicon vias, extending in direction of a thickness of the microelectronic or interconnection element. A method of making the coil inductor is also provided.
