Abstract: A programming operation for high density memory, like 3D NAND flash memory, modifies the waveforms applied during program operations to mitigate unwanted disturbance of memory cells not selected for programming during the operation. Generally, the method provides for applying a bias arrangement during an interval of time between program verify pass voltages and program pass voltages in a program sequence that can include a soft ramp down, and pre-turn-on voltages designed to reduce variations in the potential distribution on floating channels of unselected NAND strings during a program operation.

Abstract: A memory device and a method for operating selective erase scheme are provided. In an erase operation, a switch voltage is applied to at least one of a string select line or a ground select line of a selected sub-block of a selected block, a gate control voltage is applied to selected word lines of the selected sub-block, and an erase voltage is applied to bit lines and a common source line of the selected sub-block. The switch voltage is smaller than the erase voltage. The gate control voltage is smaller than the switch voltage and the erase voltage.
