Abstract: A memory device for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation is disclosed. The memory device includes a location-related memory cell and a refresh module. The location-related memory cell is coupled to a bit line. The refresh module is configured to refresh the location-related memory cell by reading data stored in the location-related memory cell and then writing the data back to the location-related memory cell in a condition that a target memory cell that is coupled to the bit line is programmed or erased. A method for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A memory device includes memory cells and a refresh module. The memory cells are coupled to a bit line, in which at least one memory cell of the memory cells is configured to store predetermined data. The refresh module is configured to refresh the at least one memory cell if a target memory cell of the memory cells is programmed or erased, in order to keep at least one cell current of the at least one memory cell away from a predetermined verify current level.

Abstract: A method and a system for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation are disclosed. The system includes a selecting module, a processing module and a refresh module. In the method, at first, a target memory cell from a plurality of memory cells in a memory device is selected. Thereafter, the target memory cell belonging to a line of the matrix is programmed or erased by applying a selecting voltage on the target memory cell and a location-related memory cell belonging to the line of the matrix. Then, a refreshing operation to refresh the location-related cell is performed

Abstract: A memory device for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation is disclosed. The memory device includes multiple location-related memory cells and a refresh module. The location-related memory cells are coupled to a bit line on which a selecting voltage is applied. The refresh module rewrites a stored data of a first cell of the location-related memory cells to the first cell of the location-related memory cells in response to an operation count being smaller than a number N. N is related to the number of the location-related memory cells.
