摘要: The memory device includes a memory block with an array of memory cells. The memory device also includes control circuitry that is in communication with the memory cells. The control circuitry is configured to program a group of the memory cells in a programming operation that does not include verify to obtain a natural threshold voltage (nVt) distribution, calculate an nVt width of the nVt distribution, compare the nVt width to a threshold, and identify the memory block as being vulnerable to cross-temperature read errors in response to the nVt width exceeding the threshold.

摘要: A memory apparatus and method of operation is provided. The apparatus includes memory cells coupled to a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to perform a first programming stage including iteratively programming each of the memory cells to first program states and verifying that the memory cells have a threshold voltage above one of a plurality of first verify voltages corresponding to the first program states. The first programming stage ends before all of the memory cells are verified thereby leaving a fraction of the memory cells below the one of the plurality of first verify voltages. The control circuit also performs a second programming stage including iteratively programming each of the memory cells to second program states and verifying that at least a predetermined number of the memory cells have the threshold voltage above one of a plurality of second verify voltages corresponding to the second program states.

摘要: Techniques are described for reprogramming memory cells to tighten threshold voltage distributions and improve data retention. In one aspect, the memory cells of a word line WLn are reprogrammed after programming of memory cells of an adjacent, later-programmed word line WLn+1. The reprogramming can be limited to lower state memory cells of WLn which are adjacent to lower state memory cells of WL+1. A program pulse magnitude used in the reprogramming can be tailored to the data states of the WLn memory cell and the adjacent, WLn+1 memory cell. In some cases, the program pulse magnitudes can be grouped to reduce the implementation complexity and time. The reprogramming can occur after an initial program operation has completed, during an idle time of a control circuit.

摘要: Techniques are provided for predictively programming of non-volatile memory, which may reduce the number of verify operations. In one aspect, a programming circuit is configured to program memory cells to a verify low voltage and to program a set of the memory cells to target states. The set comprises memory cells having a threshold voltage between the verify low voltage and a verify high voltage. To program the set of the memory cells to the target states, the programming circuit is configured to apply two or more program pulses to memory cells in the set without verifying whether the memory cells have reached their respective target states, including: apply a first and second program enable voltages to the bit lines associated with the memory cells having different strengths.
