摘要: A method of performing a programming operation to a three dimensional (3D) NAND memory device is disclosed. The method makes residual electrons trapped in storage regions of middle dummy memory cells of an unselected string of the 3D NAND memory device to be removed during the pre-charging phase, so as to reduce program disturb to an selected string which neighbors the unselected string.

摘要: A method for operating a memory is disclosed. The memory includes a first group of word lines, a second group of word lines, a first dummy word line, and a second dummy word line. The first dummy word line and the second dummy word line are between the first group of word lines and the second group of word lines. A first pass voltage is applied to the first dummy word line and applying a second pass voltage to the second dummy word line. A program voltage is applied to a selected word line, wherein a condition is met: a first voltage difference between the first pass voltage and a first threshold voltage of a first dummy cell corresponding to the first dummy word line is different from a second voltage difference between the second pass voltage and a second threshold voltage of a second dummy cell corresponding to the second dummy word line.

摘要: A 3D memory device may include a first set of memory layers, a second set of memory layers above the first set of memory layers, and a first dummy memory layer between the first and second memory layers. The 3D memory device may include a plurality of NAND memory strings each extending through the first and second set of memory layers and the first dummy memory layer. The 3D memory device may include a word line (WL) driving circuit that, when programming one of the first set of memory layers, may be configured to apply a second pre-charge voltage to the first dummy memory layer during the pre-charge period. The second pre-charge voltage may overlap with the first pre-charge voltage and ramp down prior to the first pre-charge voltage.
