Abstract:
An integrated circuit memory device, having: memory cells; a circuit patch configured on an integrated circuit die; a plurality of neighboring patches configured on the integrated circuit die; first connections from the circuit patch to the neighboring patches respectively; a plurality of surrounding patches configured on the integrated circuit die; and second connections from the neighboring patches to the surrounding patches. In determining whether or not to apply an offset voltage to be driven by the neighboring patches and the surrounding patches on non-selected memory cells, to at least partially offset a voltage increase applied by the circuit patch on one or more selected memory cells, the circuit patch communicates with the neighboring patches through the first connections, and communicates with the surrounding patches through the first connections, the neighboring patches, and the second connections.
