Abstract: A memory apparatus and method of operation are provided. The apparatus includes a page of memory cells connected to a plurality of word lines and arranged in strings and configured to retain a threshold voltage. A control circuit couples to the word lines and strings and identifies the memory cells having the threshold voltage less than a primary demarcation threshold voltage of a series for demarcating between memory states in a page read. The control circuit also identifies the memory cells having the threshold voltage less than a secondary demarcation threshold voltage of the series. The control circuit supplies a near zero voltage to the strings of the memory cells identified as having the threshold voltages less than at least one of the primary and secondary demarcation threshold voltages to inhibit conduction currents while identifying the memory cells having the threshold voltage less than a tertiary demarcation threshold voltage.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a control circuit configured to connect to NAND strings that are connected to bit lines, where each bit line is connected to a plurality of NAND strings in a corresponding plurality of regions of a block. The control circuit is configured to apply a read voltage in read operations directed to NAND strings of the plurality of regions of the block and subsequently adjust the read voltage by a first predetermined amount for read operations directed to NAND strings of a first region of the block. The control circuit is further configured to adjust the read voltage by a second predetermined amount for read operations directed to NAND strings of a second region of the block. The first and second predetermined amounts are based on respective locations of the first and second regions in the block.

Abstract: In order to decrease the width of threshold voltage distributions of programmed memory cells without unreasonably increasing the time needed to complete programming, a non-volatile memory uses a zone based program speed adjustment. The non-volatile memory starts programming a first set of the non-volatile memory cells until a minimum number of memory cells of the first set of non-volatile memory cells reach a first threshold voltage. In response to the minimum number of memory cells reaching the first threshold voltage, the first set of non-volatile memory cells are categorized into zones/groups based on threshold voltage. The speed of programming is then adjusted differently for each zone/group and programming is completed for the first set of non-volatile memory cells.
