Abstract: A memory device and a control method of the memory device are provided. The memory device includes a decoding circuit, Q switching circuits and Q blocks. The decoding circuit generates Q select signals. A k-th select signal of the Q select signals has a first select voltage. The other (Q−1) select signals have a second select voltage. The Q switching circuits receive an erase voltage, and generate Q common source line signals according to the Q select signals. A k-th common source line signal of the Q common source line signals generated by a k-th switching circuit of the Q switching circuits has the erase voltage. The Q blocks receive the Q common source line signals, respectively. A k-th block of the Q blocks is erased according to the k-th common source line signal.

Abstract: A multiple bits per cell memory is operated by applying a one-pass, multiple-level programming, using a single pulse sequence one time (or in one-pass), such as an incremental pulse program sequence, with program verify steps for multiple target program levels, to program multiple bits per cell in a plurality of memory cells. Using these techniques, the number of program pulses required, and the time required for programming the data can be reduced. As a result, an improvement in programming throughput and a reduction in disturbance conditions are achieved. Variants of the one-pass, multiple-level programming operation can be adopted for a variety of memory cell types, memory architectures, programming speeds, and data storage densities.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a NAND array that includes a plurality of blocks of memory cells. A block of memory cells in the plurality of blocks includes a plurality of NAND strings having channel lines between first string select switches and second string select switches. The plurality of NAND strings shares a set of word lines between the first and second string select switches. A channel-side erase voltage is applied to the channel lines through the first string select switches in a selected block. Word line-side erase voltages are applied to a selected subset including more than one member of the set of word lines shared by NAND strings in the selected block to induce tunneling in memory cells coupled to the selected subset, while tunneling is inhibited in memory cells coupled to an unselected subset including more than one member of the set of word lines.
