    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for accurately sensing memory cells without having to wait for a voltage that creeps up on word line after a sensing operation to die down. The word line creep up could cause electrons to trap in shallow interface traps of a memory cell, hence impacting its threshold voltage. In one aspect, trapped electrons are removed (e.g., de-trapped) from shallow interface traps of a memory cell using a weak erase operation. Therefore, problems associated with word line voltage creep up are reduced or prevented. Thus, the memory cell can be sensed without waiting, while still providing an accurate result. The weak erase could be part of a sensing operation, but that is not required. For example, the weak erase could be incorporated into the beginning part of a read operation, which provides for a very efficient solution.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory system includes one or more control circuits configured to read memory cells. The reading of the programmed memory cells includes applying one or more voltages to perform boosting of a channel region associated with unselected memory cells, allowing the boosting of the channel region for a portion of time while applying the one or more voltages, preventing/interrupting the boosting of the channel region while applying the one or more voltages for a duration of time based on position of a memory cell selected for verification, applying a compare signal to the memory cell selected for reading, and performing a sensing operation for the memory cell selected for reading in response to the compare signal.

    Abstract: Multi-gate NOR flash thin-film transistor (TFT) string arrays ("multi-gate NOR string arrays") are organized as stacks of horizontal active strips running parallel to the surface of a silicon substrate, with the TFTs in each stack being controlled by vertical local word-lines provided along one or both sidewalls of the stack of active strips. Each active strip includes at least a channel layer formed between two shared source or drain layers. Data storage in the TFTs of an active strip is provided by charge-storage elements provided between the active strip and the control gates provided by the adjacent local word-lines. Each active strip may provide TFTs that belong to one or two NOR strings, depending on whether one or both sides of the active strip are used.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for determining a magnitude of a bounce voltage on a source line associated with one or more memory cells and conducting, if the magnitude of the bounce voltage exceeds a threshold, a coarse-level program verification and a fine-level program verification of the one or more memory cells. Additionally, if the magnitude of the bounce voltage does not exceed the threshold, only the fine-level program verification of the one or more memory cells may be conducted. In one example, the coarse-level program verification is bypassed if the magnitude of the bounce voltage does not exceed the threshold.

    Abstract: Embodiments describe techniques and configurations for an apparatus including a three-dimensional (3D) memory array having a plurality of strings of memory cells, where individual strings may have memory cells that correspond to different memory blocks (e.g., multiple memory blocks per string). For example, a first set of memory cells of a string may be included in a first memory block, and a second set of memory cells of the string may be included in a second memory block. The memory device may include separator wordlines disposed between wordlines associated with the first memory block and wordlines associated with the second memory block. The separator wordlines may receive different bias voltages during various operations of the memory device. Additionally, a wordline biasing scheme may be selected to program the first memory block based on whether the second memory block is programmed. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided where non-volatile solid state memory may include selected memory cells coupled to a selected word line and proxy memory cells coupled to a proxy word line. The selected memory cells may be non-adjacent to the proxy memory cells and be selected for a read operation. A read proxy voltage may be applied to the proxy word line when data is read from the selected memory cells. A read disturb may be determined based on a difference between a predetermined value stored in the proxy memory cells and a value read from the proxy memory cells.
