Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral circuit region, lower contact plugs on the cell region, data storage structures on the lower contact plugs, and a peripheral interconnection structure on the peripheral circuit region. The peripheral interconnection structure includes a line portion extending in a direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate, and contact portions extending from the line portion toward the substrate. A height of each of the contact portions is less than a height of each of the lower contact plugs.

Abstract: A sense amplifier includes a sense amplifying unit, first and second isolation units, and first and second offset cancellation unit. The sense amplifying unit includes a first P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, and a second NMOS transistor. In a layout of the sense amplifier, the first and second PMOS transistors are disposed in a central region of the sense amplifier, the first and second NMOS transistors are disposed at opposite sides of the sense amplifier from each other, the first isolation unit and the first offset cancellation unit are disposed between the first PMOS transistor and the first NMOS transistor, and the second isolation unit and the second offset cancellation unit are disposed between the second PMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor. In other layouts, the locations of the PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors may be reversed.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory bank arranged into first through nth split regions containing at least one memory cell sub-array within each split region, and first through nth global input/output (GIO) split lines electrically coupled to the first through nth split regions. First through n-lth connection control transistors are provided, which have gate terminals responsive to respective connection control signals. The first connection control transistor is configured to electrically short the first and second GIO split lines together when enabled by a corresponding connection control signal, and the n-1th connection control transistor is configured to electrically short the n-1th and nth GIO split lines together when enabled by a corresponding connection control signal. A GIO sense amplifier is provided, which is electrically coupled to the memory bank. A control circuit is provided, which is configured to reduce I/O signal line power consumption within the memory device during read (and write) operations.
