ABSTRACT:
Each read line in a memory array containing a plurality of alternating bit lines and read lines with columns of memory cells therebetween, is broken into a plurality of electrically isolatable segments. As a result, the capacitance associated with each read line is significantly reduced and the speed of reading information from or writing information into a memory cell is significantly increased while at the same time not decreasing the density of the array.
