    Abstract: Memory devices including a controller configured to cause the memory device to apply a positive first voltage level to a first data line selectively connected to a first string of series-connected memory cells while applying a second voltage level, higher than the first voltage level, to a second data line selectively connected to a second string of series-connected memory cells; while applying the first voltage level to the first data line and applying the second voltage level to the second data line, applying a third voltage level to a particular access line coupled to a memory cell of a first string of series-connected memory cells selected for programming, wherein a differential between the third voltage level and the first voltage level is configured to increase a threshold voltage of the memory cell selected for programming, as well as other apparatus containing similar memory devices.

    Abstract: A method of programming a memory includes boosting a channel voltage while a first portion of a plurality of increasing programming pulses is applied to a selected access line, and when a criteria is met, reducing the channel voltage to a reduced voltage level and subsequently boosting the channel voltage, starting from the reduced voltage level, while a second portion of the plurality of increasing programming pulses is applied to the selected access line. Differences between the channel voltage boosted while the first portion of the plurality of increasing programming pulses is applied and voltages of the first portion of the plurality of increasing programming pulses are substantially the same as differences between the channel voltage boosted while the second portion of the plurality of increasing programming pulses is applied and voltages of the second portion of the plurality of increasing programming pulses.

    Abstract: Methods of biasing in memory devices facilitate memory device programming operations. In at least one embodiment, a first string of memory cells comprising a selected memory cell and a second string of memory cells are coupled to a common data line and a common source, where the data line is biased to a potential greater than a potential to which the source is biased during a programming operation performed on the selected memory cell.
