    摘要: A source line bias error caused by a voltage drop in a source line of a non-volatile memory device during a read or verify operation is addressed. In one approach, a body bias is applied to a substrate of the non-volatile memory device by coupling the substrate to a source voltage or a voltage which is a function of the source voltage. In another approach, a control gate voltage and/or drain voltage, e.g., bit line voltage, are compensated by referencing them to a voltage which is based on the source voltage instead of to ground. Various combinations of these approaches can be used as well. During other operations, such as programming, erase-verify and sensing of negative threshold voltages, the source line bias error is not present, so there is no need for a bias or compensation. A forward body bias can also be compensated.

    摘要: Variation in programming efficacy due to variation in time constants along a word line that spans across a memory plane is compensated by adjusting the bit line voltages across the plane to modify the programming rates. In this way, the variation in programming efficacy is substantially reduced during programming of a group of memory cells coupled to the word line. This will allow uniform optimization of programming across the group of memory cells and reduce the number of programming pulses required to program the group of memory cells, thereby improving performance. In one embodiment, during programming, the bit lines in a first half of the memory plane closer to a source of word line voltage is set to a first voltage and the bit lines in a second half of the memory plane further from the source of word line voltage is set to a second voltage.
