    摘要: A method for erasing a memory cell includes applying a first erase to memory cells to erase the memory cells, wherein first memory cells are in a weakly erased state in response to the first erase, and wherein second memory cells are in a normally erased state in response to the first erase, thereafter applying a first weak program to the memory cells, wherein the second memory cells enter a programmed state and the third memory cells remain in the erased state in response to the first weak program, and thereafter applying a read to the memory cells to identify the second memory cells, and applying a second erase to the second memory cells to thereby erase the second memory cells.
