    摘要: A programming method and a semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes a memory string that includes a plurality of first memory cells and a first dummy cell stacked in sequence, and each first memory cell is connected to a respective word line, and a gate of the first dummy cell is connected to a first dummy word line. The method includes: in a programming phase, applying a first pass voltage to a word line corresponding to a first unprogrammed memory cell, wherein the first unprogrammed memory cell is an unprogrammed memory cell of the plurality of first memory cells separated from a to-be-programmed memory cell by a first preset number of first memory cells; and after applying the first pass voltage to the word line corresponding to the first unprogrammed memory cell, applying a programming voltage to the word line corresponding to the to-be-programmed memory cell.

    摘要: Examples of the present disclosure provide a memory and an operation method thereof, a memory system and an electronic device. The operation method comprises: applying a pass voltage to word lines coupled to unselected memory cells of one of memory strings according to a program order of a selected memory cell of the memory string when performing a read operation on the selected memory cell, wherein the earlier the program order of the selected memory cell is, the greater the pass voltage applied to the word lines coupled to the unselected memory cells of the memory string during the read operation is. In the examples of the present disclosure, the pass voltage applied to the word lines coupled to the unselected memory cells is determined according to the program order of the selected memory cell, i.e., according to different degrees of impact of a background pattern dependency effect experienced by the selected memory cell, such that the impact of the background pattern dependency effect can be decreased, and the read disturb is reduced.
