    摘要: A memory device includes a memory string and a control circuit. The memory string includes a top select gate, a memory cell, and a bottom select gate. The top select gate is coupled to a first select line, the memory cell is coupled to a word line, and the bottom select gate is coupled to a second select line. The control circuit is coupled to the first select line, the word line, and the second select line. The control circuit is configured to, in an erasing operation comprising an erasing stage and a verification stage after the erasing stage, apply an erasing voltage to the memory string in the erasing stage, apply a first voltage to the word line in a first stage of the verification stage, apply a second voltage lower than the first voltage to the word line in a second stage after the first stage, apply a first turn-on voltage to the second select line before applying the second voltage to the word line, and apply a second turn-on voltage to the first select line after stopping application of the erasing voltage for a period of time.

    摘要: A memory device includes memory cells in rows, word lines respectively coupled to the rows, and a control circuitry coupled to the memory cells via the word lines. The control circuitry is configured to apply a first program voltage to a first word line of the word lines. The first word line is coupled to a first row of the memory cells. The control circuitry is also configured to, after applying the first program voltage to the first word line, apply a second program voltage to a second word line of the word lines. The second word line is coupled to a second row of the memory cells. The control circuitry is also configured to, after applying the second program voltage to the second word line, apply a first pre-charge voltage to the first word line and a second pre-charge voltage to the second word line. The second pre-charge voltage is greater than the first pre-charge voltage.

    摘要: A memory device includes bit lines, and a cell array including strings, each of which includes memory cells, a select cell coupled to a respective one of the bit lines, and a dummy cell between the select cell and the memory cells. The memory device also includes a select line coupled to the select cells, a dummy word line coupled to the dummy cells, word lines each coupled to a respective row of the memory cells, and a controller coupled to the cell array. The controller is configured to drive a voltage on the dummy word line from a first level to a second level lower than the first level. The controller is also configured to drive a voltage on the select line from the first level to the second level, such that the voltage on the select line reaches the second level after the voltage on the dummy word line reaches the second level. The controller is further configured to, after the voltage on the select line reaches the second level, drive a voltage on a selected word line of the word lines from the second level to a third level higher than the first level to program the memory cells coupled to the selected word line.
