    Abstract: An open bit line memory device and operational method are provided having performance characteristics commensurate with those of folded bit line architecture. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells in open bit line configuration, at least some of which are interconnected by a bit line. A sense amplifier unit is coupled to the bit line for sensing a developing signal thereon during a predefined bit line signal development interval. The amplifier sets to one of two logical states during a subsequent setting interval. An electrical isolator is employed to decouple the bit line from the sense amplifier during the setting interval so that signal variations on the bit line do not effect the amplifier. Each bit line also has an associated reference voltage line, and the electrical isolator isolates both the bit line and the associated reference voltage line from the sense amplifier during amplifier's setting period.

    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.
