    Abstract: A back-bias level sensor used for a semiconductor device wherein a sensing current for sensing a back-bias voltage is prevented from directly flowing into the substrate (or the back-bias voltage terminal). The gate of a PMOS transistor is provided with the back-bias voltage while the source is provided with a ground voltage, so that a pump circuit performs the pumping operation to increase the back-bias voltage when the back-bias voltage is lower than a predetermined voltage level; otherwise, the pump circuit is de-energized, thereby reducing the back-bias voltage.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device has the pages of a certain memory block reallocated to other blocks in order to increase decrease disturb and increase reliability. Each of the reallocation blocks that contain the reallocated pages from the desired memory block are coupled to a wordline driver. These wordline drivers have a subset of the global wordlines as inputs. The desired wordline driver is selected by an appropriate select signal from a block decoder and an indication on an appropriate global wordline. This causes the wordline driver to generate a local wordline to the desired block with the reallocated page to be accessed.

    Abstract: A NAND memory architecture arranges all even bitlines of a page together, and arranges all odd bitlines of a page together, so that programming operations are carried out on adjacent bitlines on the same word line to reduce floating gate coupling. Non-connected bitlines can be used at boundaries between even and odd sections of the array to further reduce floating gate coupling.
