    Abstract: A number of techniques for determining defects in non-volatile memory arrays are presented, which are particularly applicable to 3D NAND memory, such as that of the BiCS type. Word line to word shorts within a memory block are determined by application of an AC stress mode, followed by a defect detection operation. An inter-block stress and detection operation can be used determine word line to word line leaks between different blocks. Select gate leak line leakage, both the word lines and other select lines, is consider, as are shorts from word lines and select lines to local source lines. In addition to word line and select line defects, techniques for determining shorts between bit lines and low voltage circuitry, as in the sense amplifiers, are presented.

    Abstract: When performing an erase on a flash type non-volatile memory with a NAND type of structure, techniques are presented for inhibiting erase on selected word lines, select lines of programmable select transistors, or some combination of these. The voltage along the selected control lines are initially ramped up by the level on a corresponding input line, but then have their voltage raised to an erase inhibit level by capacitive coupling with the well structure. The level of these input signals are ramped up with the erase voltage applied to the well structure, but with a delay based upon the coupling ratio between the control line and the well.
