    Abstract: A storage device is disclosed herein. The storage device comprises a block including a plurality of memory cells and a circuit coupled to the plurality of memory cells of the block. The circuit is configured to program memory cells of a plurality of strings of a word line of the block and verify, for a plurality of sets of the memory cells, a data state of a set of the memory cells, where each set of the plurality of sets of the memory cells includes a memory cell from each string of the plurality of strings of the word line. Further, the circuit is configured to determine a number of sets of the plurality of memory cell sets that are verified to be in a first data state and determine, based on the number of sets, whether the block is faulty.

    Abstract: A method for memory program verification includes performing a write operation on memory cells of a memory device. The method also includes identifying memory strings associated with respective memory cells of the memory cells. The method also includes identifying a first memory string of the memory strings. The method also includes disabling a portion of a write verification for the first memory string. The method also includes enabling the portion of the write verification for other memory strings of the memory strings. The method also includes performing at least the portion of the write verification operation on write verification enabled memory strings.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided to adaptively determine when to begin verify tests for memory cells during a program operation. The memory cells are programmed using a normal programming speed until their threshold voltage exceeds an initial verify voltage. The memory cells are then programmed further using a reduced programming speed until their threshold voltage exceeds a final verify voltage. In one aspect, a count of memory cells which exceeds the initial verify voltage is used to determine when to begin verify tests for a higher data state. In another aspect, a count of the higher state memory cells which exceeds the initial or final verify voltage is used to determine when to begin verify tests for the higher data state. The counted memory cells are not subject to the reduced programming speed.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for fast programming and read operations for memory cells. A group of word lines comprising a selected word line and one or more adjacent word lines are driven with a common voltage signal during program and read operations. The word lines may be permanently connected to one another or connected by a switch. In another approach, the word lines are driven separately by common voltage signals. In a set of blocks, one block of memory cells can be provided with connected word lines to provide a relatively high access speed, while another block of memory cells has disconnected word lines to provide a higher storage density. In another aspect, the memory cells of a word line are divided into portions, and a portion which is closest to a row decoder is reserved for high access speed with a low storage density.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is related to a memory device and a method of verifying a programmed status of the memory device. The memory device includes memory cells coupled to a word line. The memory device includes a controller coupled to the word line. The controller is configured to program the memory cells coupled to the word line. The controller is configured to verify a programmed status of a first subset of the memory cells coupled to the word line and a programmed status of a second subset of the memory cells coupled to the word line, based on the programmed status of the first subset of the memory cells.
