An exposure apparatus that exposes a substrate includes: an optical system that includes an emission surface from which an exposure light is emitted; a first surface that is disposed in at least a part of a surrounding of an optical path of the exposure light emitted from the emission surface; a second surface that is disposed in at least a part of a surrounding of the first surface and at a position lower than the first surface; a space portion into which a liquid can flow via a first aperture between the first surface and the second surface and which is opened to the atmosphere via a second aperture different from the first aperture; and a first recovery portion that recovers at least a part of the liquid flowing into the space portion. Here, the emission surface, the first surface, and the second surface are opposed to the surface of the substrate in at least a part of the exposure of the substrate, and the substrate is exposed with the exposure light from the emission surface via the liquid between the emission surface and the surface of the substrate.

Capacitors (5a, 5b) are provided in the insulators of bushings (4a, 4b), respectively. One ends of the capacitors (5a, 5b) are connected to central conductors (3a, 3b) side, and the other ends are connected to a tank (1) side at the ground potential. When a discharge signal from the outside of the tank (1) reaches the capacitors (5a, 5b) through the central conductors (3a, 3b), the capacitors (5a, 5b) work as a filter to attenuate and prevent the signal in the frequency band of the discharge waveform from propagating to the inside of the tank (1). When an antenna (7) placed in the tank (1) receives a signal in the frequency band of the discharge waveform, a discharge detection unit (20) determines that a discharge inside the tank has been detected.

Methods and devices for operating non-volatile storage are disclosed. One or more programming conditions depend on the location of the word line that is selected for programming, which may reduce or eliminate program disturb. The voltage applied to the gate of a select transistor of a NAND string may depend on the location of the selected word line. This could be either a source side or drain side select transistor. This may prevent or reduce program disturb that could result due to DIBL. This may also prevent or reduce program disturb that could result due to GIDL. A negative bias may be applied to the gate of a source side select transistor when programming at least some of the word lines. In one embodiment, progressively lower voltages are used for the gate of the drain side select transistor when programming progressively higher word lines.

Techniques are disclosed herein for applying different process steps to single-level cell (SLC) blocks in a memory array than to multi-level cell (MLC) blocks such that the SLC blocks will have high endurance and the MLC blocks will have high reliability. In some aspects, different doping is used in the MLC blocks than the SLC blocks. In some aspects, different isolation is used in the MLC blocks than the SLC blocks. Techniques are disclosed that apply different read parameters depending on how many times a block has been programmed/erased. Therefore, blocks that have been cycled many times are read using different parameters than blocks that have been cycled fewer times.

Data is programmed into and read from a set of target memory cells. When reading the data, temperature compensation is provided. The temperature compensation is based on temperature information and the state of one or more neighbor memory cells. In one embodiment, when data is read from set of target memory cells, the system senses the current temperature and determines the differences in temperature between the current temperature and the temperature at the time the data was programmed. If the difference in temperature is greater than a threshold, then the process of reading the data includes providing temperature compensation based on temperature information and neighbor state information. In one alternative, the decision to provide the temperature compensation can be triggered by conditions other than a temperature differential.

摘要:
A memory device with reduced leakage current during programming and sense operations, and a method for operating such a memory device. In a non-volatile memory device, current leakage at the drain select gates of NAND strings can occur in unselected blocks when a selected block undergoes a program or read operation, and the bit lines are shared by the blocks. In one approach, in which a common transfer gate driver is provided for both blocks, the drain select gates are pre-charged at an optimum level, which minimizes leakage, and subsequently floated while a program or read voltage is applied to a selected word line in the selected block. In another approach, a separate transfer gate driver is provided for the unselected block so that the optimal select gate voltage can be driven in the unselected block, even while the program or read voltage is applied in the selected block.
