Abstract:
In one embodiment, a memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a first set of memory banks disposed on the semiconductor substrate and a second set of memory banks disposed on the semiconductor substrate. Each memory bank of the second set is split into a plurality of memory bank segments physically separated from each other and from the first set of memory banks. Each memory bank segment is arranged adjacent to, and occupies less area than, one of the memory banks of the first set.
