    摘要: A non-volatile memory device and a control method are provided e disclosed. The non-volatile memory device includes a memory array, a bit line, a plurality of word lines, a first control circuit, and second control circuit. The bit line is connected to a first memory string of the memory array. The plurality of word lines are connected to memory cells of the first memory string and each word line is connected to a respective memory cell. The first control circuit is configured to apply a bit line pre-pulse signal to the bit line during a pre-charge period. The second control circuit is configured to apply a word line signal to a selected word line and apply a plurality of word line pre-pulse signals to word lines disposed between a select gate line and the selected word line. Voltage levels of the plurality of word line pre-pulse signals are incremental.

    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.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory string and a control circuit coupled to the memory string. The memory string includes a top select gate, word lines, a bottom select gate, and a P-well. The control circuit is configured to, in an erasing operation, apply an erasing voltage to the P-well, apply a verifying voltage to a selected word line of the word lines after applying the erasing voltage to the P-well, and apply a first turn-on voltage to the bottom select gate, starting after applying the erasing voltage to the P-well and before applying the verifying voltage to the selected word line.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory array including memory strings. Each memory string includes a plurality of top memory cells, a plurality of bottom memory cells, and one or more dummy memory cells between the top memory cells and the bottom memory cells. The memory device also includes a plurality of word lines respectively coupled to gate terminals of the top memory cells and the bottom memory cells. The memory device further includes a control circuit configured to provide a control signal to control programming a target memory cell of the top memory cells. The gate terminal of the target memory cell are coupled to a selected word line of the word lines. The memory device further includes a word line driver coupled to the control circuit and the word lines and configured to, in response to the control signal, apply a positive first voltage signal to each of the word lines that are coupled to the gate terminals of the top memory cells during a first time period in a pre-charge phase prior to a programming phase.
