摘要: Implementations described herein relate to detecting a memory write reliability risk without using a write verify operation. In some implementations, a memory device may perform a program operation that includes a single program pulse and that does not include a program verify operation immediately after the single program pulse. The memory device may set a flag value based on comparing a transition time and a transition time threshold. The transition time may be a time to transition from a first voltage to a second voltage during the program operation. The memory device may selectively perform a mitigation operation based on whether the flag value is set to a first value or a second value.

摘要: A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers having channel-material strings therein. Walls are formed above insulating material that is directly above the channel-material strings. Void space is laterally-between immediately-adjacent of the walls and that comprises a longitudinal outline of individual digitlines to be formed. Spaced openings are in the insulating material directly below the void space. Relative to the walls, a conductive metal nitride is selectively deposited in the void space, in the spaced openings, and atop the insulating material laterally-between the walls and the spaced openings to form a lower portion of the individual digitlines laterally-between the immediately-adjacent walls. The conductive metal nitride that is in individual of the spaced openings is directly electrically coupled to individual of the channel-material strings. A conductive material is formed in the void space directly above and directly electrically coupled to the lower portion of the individual digitlines to form an upper portion thereof. Other embodiments, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.

摘要: A memory device that uses different programming parameters base on the word line(s) to be programmed is described. The programming parameter PROGSRC_PCH provides a pre-charge voltage to physical word lines. In some instances, the PROGSRC_PCH voltage is decoupled, and a new PROGSRC_PCH represents an adjusted (e.g., increased) pre-charge voltage for a certain physical word line or word line zone (i.e., predetermined group of word lines). Using different PROGSRC_PCH voltages can limit or prevent Vt distribution window degradation, particularly for relatively low physical word lines. Additionally, the overall programming time and average current consumed can also be reduced.

摘要: A memory device includes a memory block including memory cells to which a program voltage is applied through a word line. The memory device also includes a peripheral circuit configured to perform a verify operation of comparing threshold voltages of the memory cells with a verify voltage on each of a plurality of program levels. The memory device further includes a control logic circuit configured to control the peripheral circuit to apply a plurality of blind voltages related to a target level among the plurality of program levels to the word line, and determine a start time point of a verify operation corresponding to a next program level of the target level using the number of fail bits for each of the plurality of blind voltages.

摘要: Disclosed in some examples are improvements to data placement architectures in NAND that provide additional data protection through an improved NAND data placement schema that allows for recovery from certain failure scenarios.
The present disclosure stripes data diagonally across page lines and planes to enhance the data protection. Parity bits are stored in SLC blocks for extra protection until the block is finished writing and then the parity bits may be deleted.-

摘要: A semiconductor memory includes memory cells, a word line and bit lines of the memory cells, sense amplifiers connected to the bit lines, respectively, and a controller. Each sense amplifier includes first, second, and third transistors. The third transistor has one end connected to each of the first and second transistors, and the other end connected to a corresponding bit line. During a read operation, at a first time of a first period during which the controller applies a first read voltage to the word line, the controller applies a first voltage higher than ground voltage to the first transistor, and a second voltage to the second transistor. Also, at the first time, a first sense amplifier applies a voltage to a first bit line through its first and third transistors, and a second sense amplifier applies a voltage to a second bit line through tis second and third transistors.

摘要: A memory die includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers through which memory opening fill structures vertically extend. The memory die includes at least three memory array regions interlaced with at least two contact regions, or at least three contact regions interlaced with at least two memory array regions in the same memory plane. A logic die including at least two word line driver regions can be bonded to the memory die. The interlacing of the contact regions and the memory array regions can reduce lateral offset of boundaries of the word line driver regions from boundaries of the contact regions.
