摘要: A boot-up read pattern data structure is maintained. Each entry of the boot-up read pattern data structure comprises a boot-up read pattern associated with a respective power cycle event and a dummy boot-up read pattern flag. The dummy boot-up read pattern flag indicates that the boot-up read pattern has been consecutively used during boot-up. Storing, in a new entry of the boot-up read pattern data structure, a current boot-up read pattern associated with a respective power cycle event for each power cycle event. The current boot-up read pattern with a previous boot-up read pattern associated with a latest entry of the boot-up pattern data structure is compared. A dummy boot-up read pattern flag of the new entry is updated responsive to the comparing the current boot-up read pattern and the previous boot-up read pattern.

摘要: Technology is disclosed herein for a storage system that reduces the Icc during open block reads. A lower than nominal voltage may be applied to the bit lines during open block reads, which reduces Icc. A nominal bit line voltage may be used during closed block reads. The lower than nominal bit line voltage may be combined with using a lower than nominal read pass voltage (Vread) to unprogrammed word lines during the open block read. The lower than nominal Vread has a lower magnitude than a nominal Vread used during a closed block read. Combining the lower than nominal bit line voltage with the lower than nominal Vread to unprogrammed word lines further reduces Icc during open block reads. The ramp rate of Vread may be relaxed (made slower) during at least some open block reads in combination with the lower than nominal bit line voltage.

摘要: A flash memory device and a program method thereof are provided. The flash memory device includes a memory array, a first global bit line, and a sense amplifying device. The memory array includes a first memory block having a plurality of first memory cells. In a leakage current detection operation, the sense amplifying device detects a leakage current generated by the first memory cells on the first global bit line to obtain leakage current simulation information. In a program operation, the sense amplifying device provides a reference current according to the leakage current simulation information, and compares a sensing current generated by a selected memory cell in the first memory cells on the first global bit line with the reference current to perform a program verification.

摘要: Multi-gate NOR flash thin-film transistor (TFT) string arrays (“multi-gate NOR string arrays”) are organized as stacks of horizontal active strips running parallel to the surface of a silicon substrate, with the TFTs in each stack being controlled by vertical local word-lines provided along one or both sidewalls of the stack of active strips. Each active strip includes at least a channel layer formed between two shared source or drain layers. Data storage in the TFTs of an active strip is provided by charge-storage elements provided between the active strip and the control gates provided by the adjacent local word-lines. Each active strip may provide TFTs that belong to one or two NOR strings, depending on whether one or both sides of the active strip are used.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array having memory strings that include memory cells and first and second selection transistors. During a read operation, a controller applies a first voltage higher than ground to a source line, and a second voltage to a first and second selection gate lines that are connected to a selected memory string. The second voltage is also applied to the first selection gate lines connected to non-selected memory strings during a first period of the read operation. A third voltage higher than ground and lower than the second voltage is applied to the first selection gate lines connected to non-selected memory strings during a second period of the read operation subsequent to the first period.

摘要: Methods, systems, devices, and techniques for read operations are described. In some examples, a memory device may include a first transistor (e.g., memory node transistor) configured to receive a precharge voltage at a first gate and output first voltage based on a threshold of the first transistor to a reference node via a first switch. The device may include a second transistor (e.g., a reference node transistor) configured to receive a precharge voltage and output a second voltage based on a threshold of the second transistor to a memory node via a second switch. The first voltage may be modified by a reference voltage and input to the second transistor. The second voltage may be modified by a voltage stored on a memory cell and input to the first transistor. The first and second transistor may output third and fourth voltages to be sampled to a latch.
