摘要: A data storage system can utilize one or more data storage devices that employ a solid-state non-volatile read destructive memory consisting of ferroelectric memory cells. A leveling strategy can be generated by a wear module connected to the memory with the leveling strategy prescribing a plurality of memory cell operating parameters associated with different amounts of cell wear. The wear module may monitor activity of a memory cell and detect an amount of wear in the memory cell as a result of the monitored activity, which can prompt changing a default set of operating parameters for the memory cell to a first stage of operating parameters, as prescribed by the leveling strategy, in response to the detected amount of wear.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device has a memory array including memory cells. A controller of the memory device evaluates background leakage in order to select a write voltage to apply to a memory cell when performing a programming operation. The write voltage is dynamically selected from two or more write voltages. These write voltages include a first write voltage that is a normal or default voltage, and a second write voltage that is a boosted write voltage. The controller applies a pre-sensing voltage and pre-read voltage to the memory cell, and determines first and second respective currents that result from applying these voltages. In response to determining that the first current exceeds a first threshold (indicating background leakage), and the second current is below a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold (indicating that the memory cell does not snap), the controller selects the second (boosted) write voltage.

摘要: Implementations described herein relate to detecting a memory write reliability risk without using a write verify operation. In some implementations, a memory device may perform a program operation that includes a single program pulse and that does not include a program verify operation immediately after the single program pulse. The memory device may set a flag value based on comparing a transition time and a transition time threshold. The transition time may be a time to transition from a first voltage to a second voltage during the program operation. The memory device may selectively perform a mitigation operation based on whether the flag value is set to a first value or a second value.

摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device has a memory array including memory cells. A controller of the memory device applies multiple pre-read voltages to memory cells prior to performing write operations on the memory cells. The controller applies a first pre-read voltage to determine which of the memory cells have a sensed current that exceeds a threshold. In response to determining that a percentage of the memory cells exceeding the threshold is too low (e.g., below a fixed limit), the controller determines to apply a second pre-read voltage to the memory cells. The second pre-read voltage has a greater magnitude than the first pre-read voltage, and can be applied to ensure greater reliability in properly determining the existing programming state of the memory cells. The controller then applies write voltages to the memory cells as appropriate based on target logic states for each memory cell and the programming mode to be used by the controller.

摘要: A memory device includes first and second strings including transistors, a first wiring connected to the first string, a second wiring connected to the second string, a third wiring connected to both strings, and a circuit for executing a write operation on a first transistor of the first string and a second transistor of the second string. The operation includes a first operation by which a first voltage is applied to the wirings and a second operation by which a second voltage is applied to gates of the first and second transistors. When a current flows between the first and third wirings but does not flow between the second and third wirings in the first operation, the circuit causes a third voltage to be applied to the first wiring, and causes a fourth voltage higher than the third voltage to be applied to the second wiring in the second operation.

摘要: To remedy short term data retention issues, a system creates a gate to channel voltage differential for non-volatile memory cells between programming and verifying in order to accelerate the effects of the short term data retention issue. That is, the gate to channel voltage differential will accelerate the migrating of electrons out of shallow traps. In some embodiments, the gate to channel voltage differential comprises a higher voltage at the channel in comparison to the gate. In some embodiments, the programming comprises applying doses of a programming signal and the gate to channel voltage differential is only created for a subset of the time periods between doses of the programming signal.

摘要: A non-volatile memory system is configured to perform a multiplane erase process that concurrently erases groups of memory cells in multiple planes. Based on that multiplane erase process, the memory system determines that a first group of memory cells in a first plane of the multiple planes is slow to erase. As a result, the system will perform one or more multiplane erase processes for the groups of memory cells in multiple planes without erasing the first group of memory cells in the first plane as part of the multiplane erase process(es).
