    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, such as a method that includes precharging channel material of a string of memory cells in an unselected sub-block of a block of memory cells to a precharge voltage during a first portion of a programming operation. A programming voltage can then be applied to a selected memory cell in a selected sub-block of the block of memory cells during a second portion of the programming operation. The selected memory cell is coupled to a same access line as an unselected memory cell in the unselected sub-block. Additional methods and apparatus are disclosed.

    摘要: Some embodiments include apparatuses, and methods of operating the apparatuses. Some of the apparatuses include a data line, a first memory cell string including first memory cells located in different levels of the apparatus, first access lines to access the first memory cells, a first select gate coupled between the data line and the first memory cell string, a first select line to control the first select gate, a second memory cell string including second memory cells located in different levels of the apparatus, second access lines to access the second memory cells, the second access lines being electrically separated from the first access lines, a second select gate coupled between the data line and the second memory cell string, a second select line to control the second select gate, and the first select line being in electrical contact with the second select line.

    摘要: Memory devices might be configured to perform methods including reading a first page of memory cells and flag data wherein the flag data indicates whether a second page of memory cells adjacent to the first page is programmed, and determining from the flag data whether to re-read the first page of memory cells with an adjusted read voltage; performing a sense operation on memory cells coupled to first data lines of a first array of memory cells and memory cells coupled to data lines of a second array of memory cells, and determining a program indication of memory cells coupled to second data lines from the sense operation performed on the memory cells coupled to the data lines of the second array of memory cells; and/or programming memory cells coupled to first data lines in a first array of memory cells, and programming memory cells coupled to second data lines in the first array of memory cells while programming memory cells coupled to data lines in a second array of memory cells with flag data indicative of the memory cells coupled to the second data lines in the first array of memory cells being programmed.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for reducing capacitive loading are described. An example apparatus may include a plurality of memory subblocks of a memory block. A plurality of word lines may be associated with the plurality of subblocks. The word lines may be further associated with multiple strings within the subblocks. A subset of the word lines may be dummy word lines. The cells of the dummy word lines may be programmed to a plurality of states. The states may be configured to deactivate and/or float unselected strings in the subblocks during certain memory operations.

    摘要: Memory devices, memory arrays, and methods of operation of memory arrays with segmentation. Segmentation elements can scale with the memory cells, and may be uni-directional or bi-directional diodes. Biasing lines in the array allow biasing of selected and unselected select devices and segmentation elements with any desired bias, and may use biasing devices of the same construction as the segmentation elements.
