    摘要: When programming a memory device which includes a plurality of memory cells coupled to a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines, coarse programming is perform on two adjacent first and second word lines among the plurality of word lines. Next, an unselected bit line among the plurality of bit lines is pre-charged during a first period after performing the coarse programming on the first word line and the second word line. Also, the channel between the unselected bit line and the second word line is turned on at the start of the first period and turned off prior to the end of the first period. Then, fine programming is performed on the first word line during a second period subsequent to the first period.

    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: The embodiments of the disclosure provide a control method and apparatus for a memory, and a storage medium. The memory has memory blocks, and each memory block has memory strings. Each of the memory strings includes a channel layer with an N-type doped top region. In a memory block, a bit line erasing voltage is applied to a select bit line, and an erasing prohibition voltage is applied to an unselect bit line. A top select gate voltage lower than the bit line erasing voltage is applied to a top select gate. When a word line erasing voltage lower than the bit line erasing voltage is applied to the corresponding word line connected to a memory string corresponding to the select bit line and the unselect bit line, the memory string corresponding to the select bit line is erased.

    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.
