摘要： Unselected groups of non-volatile storage elements are boosted during programming to reduce or eliminate program disturb for targeted, but unselected memory cells connected to a selected word line. Prior to applying a program voltage to the selected word line and boosting the unselected groups, the unselected groups are pre-charged to further reduce or eliminate program disturb by providing a larger boosted potential for the unselected groups. During pre-charging, one or more pre-charge enable signals are provided at different voltages for particular non-volatile storage elements.

摘要： A hybrid method of programming a non-volatile memory cell to a final programmed state is described. The method described is a more robust protocol suitable for reliably programming selected memory cells while eliminating programming disturbs. The hybrid method comprises programming the non-volatile memory cell to a first state according to a first coarse programming mechanism, and programming the non-volatile memory cell according to a second different more precise programming mechanism thereby completing the programming of the non-volatile memory cell to the final programmed state. Additionally, the described method is particularly advantageous for programming multilevel chips.
