Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for concurrently programming the same data pattern in multiple sets of non-volatile memory cells. Voltage are applied to bit lines in accordance with a data pattern. A select voltage is applied to drain select gates of multiple sets of NAND strings. The system concurrently applies a program pulse to control gates of a different set of selected memory cells in each respective set of the multiple sets of the NAND strings while the select voltage is applied to the drain select gates of the multiple sets of the NAND strings and the voltages are applied to the plurality of bit lines to concurrently program the data pattern into each set of the selected memory cells.

Abstract: A non-volatile storage system includes a mechanism to compensate for over programming during the programming process. That is, after the programming process starts for a set of data and target memory cells, and prior to the programming process completing for the set of data and the target memory cells, the system determines whether a first group of the memory cells has more than a threshold number of over programmed memory cells. If so, then the system adjusts programming of a second group of memory cells to reduce the number of programming errors.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a programming circuit configured to supply a program pulse to increase a threshold voltage of a memory cell. The apparatus also includes a sensing circuit configured to determine that the threshold voltage of the memory cell satisfies a trigger threshold voltage in response to the program pulse. The apparatus further includes a damping circuit configured to increase a voltage of a bit line connected to the memory cell after initiation of and during a second program pulse in response to the threshold voltage of the memory cell satisfying the trigger threshold voltage, the second program pulse being sent by the programming circuit.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for concurrently programming non-volatile storage cells, such as those of an SLC NAND array. The non-volatile storage cells may be arranged into a first block comprising a first string of storage cells that intersects with a first word line at a first storage cell, a second block comprising a second string of storage cells that intersects with a second word line at a second storage cell, a bit line electrically connectable to the first string and the second string, and controller configured to apply a programming pulse, at an elevated voltage, to the first word line and second word line to concurrently program the first and second storage cells.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are provided for programming memory cells while reducing widening of a threshold voltage distribution due to changes in the temperature between the time of programming and the time of a subsequent read operation. One technique is based on a correlation between program speed and temperature coefficient (Tco). A different verify test is used for different memory cells which have a common assigned data state according to the program loop number and the temperature. Another technique is based on sensing the memory cells to measure their subthreshold slope and classifying the memory cells into groups. The sensing can occur as a separate operation before programming or as part of the programming of user data. The subsequent programming of the memory cells involves adjusting the verify test of each memory cell based on its group and the temperature.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for predictively programming of non-volatile memory, which may reduce the number of verify operations. In one aspect, a programming circuit is configured to program memory cells to a verify low voltage and to program a set of the memory cells to target states. The set comprises memory cells having a threshold voltage between the verify low voltage and a verify high voltage. To program the set of the memory cells to the target states, the programming circuit is configured to apply two or more program pulses to memory cells in the set without verifying whether the memory cells have reached their respective target states, including: apply a first and second program enable voltages to the bit lines associated with the memory cells having different strengths.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory uses phase change memory (PCM) cells in a three dimensional vertical cross-point structure, in which multiple layers of word lines run in a horizontal direction and bit lines run in a vertical direction. The memory cells are located in a recessed region of the word lines and are separated from the bit line by an ovonic threshold switch. A surfactant lining of the word line recess in which the phase change memory material is placed improves stability of the resistance state of the memory cells, allowing for improved multi-state operation.
