Electronic device including gate lines, bit lines, or a combination thereof
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first set of memory cells oriented substantially along a first direction;
a second set of memory cells oriented substantially along the first direction;
a first gate line electrically connected to the first set of memory cells; and
a second gate line electrically connected to the second set of memory cells, wherein, when compared to the first gate line, the second gate line is electrically connected to more sets of memory cells that lie along the first direction.

Abstract
An electronic device can include memory cells that are connected to gate lines, bit lines, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, at least two sets of memory cells can be oriented substantially along a first direction, (e.g., rows or columns). A first gate line may be electrically connected to fewer rows or columns of memory cells as compared to a second gate line. For example, the first gate line may only be electrically connected to the first set of memory cells, and the second gate line may be electrically connected to the second and third sets of memory cells. In another embodiment, a first bit line may be electrically connected to fewer rows or columns of memory cells as compared to a second bit line. In still another embodiment, another set of memory cells may be oriented substantially along another direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
