    Abstract: A flash memory system configured in accordance with an example embodiment of the invention employs a virtual ground array architecture. During programming operations, target memory cells are biased with a positive source bias voltage to reduce or eliminate leakage current that might otherwise conduct through the target memory cells. A positive source bias voltage may also be applied to target memory cells during verification operations (program verify, soft program verify, erase verify) to reduce or eliminate leakage current that might otherwise introduce errors in the verification operations.

    Abstract: A method is provided for erasing a memory device including a number of memory cells, the memory cells including a substrate, a control gate, a charge storage element, a source region and a drain region. The method includes erasing a group of memory cells to lower a maximum threshold voltage of the group of memory cells below a first predetermined level. The group of memory cells is soft-programmed to raise a minimum threshold voltage of the group of memory cells above a second predetermined level. The group of memory cells is erased, following soft-programming, resulting in a reduced threshold voltage distribution associated with the group of memory cells.
