    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a write command including user data. The write command is directed to a portion of memory including a first block and a second block. A buffer is allocated for executing the write command to the first block. The buffer includes multiple buffer decks and the buffer holds the user data written to the first block. User data is programmed into the first block to a threshold percentage. The threshold percentage is less than one hundred percent of the first block. A buffer deck is invalidated in response to programming the first block to the threshold percentage. The buffer deck is reallocated to the second block for programming the user data into the second block. The buffer deck holds user data written to the second block.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for managing a voltage recovery operation are described. In some cases, as part of performing a write command to store data to a set of memory cells, the memory system may store an indication of the initial time at which the write operation occurred, the temperature of the set of memory cells at the initial time, or both. The memory system may subsequently manage an accumulated value based on a duration from the initial time and the temperature of the set of memory cells during the duration. If the accumulated value exceeds an accumulation threshold, the memory system may identify an indication of degradation of the set of memory cells. If the indication exceeds a degradation threshold, the memory system may perform a voltage recovery operation to modify voltages of the set of memory cells.

    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device initiates a program operation on a memory array comprising a top deck and bottom deck. During a seeding phase of the program operation, the control logic causes a first positive voltage to be applied to a first plurality of wordlines of the memory array, wherein the first plurality of wordlines is associated with memory cells in the bottom deck of the memory array that are in a programmed state, and causes a ground voltage to be applied to a second plurality of wordlines of the memory array, wherein the second plurality of wordlines is associated with memory cells in the top deck of the memory array. At an end of the seeding phase of the program operation, the control logic electrically separates the top deck from the bottom deck and causes a program voltage to be applied to a selected wordline of the memory array during an inhibit phase of the program operation, wherein the selected wordline is associated with respective memory cells in the top deck of the memory array.
