The top select gate is coupled to a first select line, the memory cell is coupled to a word line, and the bottom select gate is coupled to a second select line. The control circuit is coupled to the first select line, the word line, and the second select line. The control circuit is configured to, in an erasing operation comprising an erasing stage and a verification stage after the erasing stage, apply an erasing voltage to the memory string in the erasing stage, apply a first voltage to the word line in a first stage of the verification stage, apply a second voltage lower than the first voltage to the word line in a second stage after the first stage, apply a first turn-on voltage to the second select line before applying the second voltage to the word line, and apply a second turn-on voltage to the first select line after stopping application of the erasing voltage for a period of time.

    摘要: A memory apparatus and method of operation are provided. The apparatus includes memory cells each connected to one of a plurality of word lines and disposed in memory holes. The memory cells are configured to retain a threshold voltage corresponding to one of a plurality of data states. A control means is coupled to the plurality of word lines and the memory holes and is configured to program the memory cells in a program operation. During the program operation, the control means programs the memory cells connected to at least one particular word line of the plurality of word lines using a first programming technique while programming the memory cells connected to plurality of word lines other than the at least one particular word line using a second programming technique different than the first programming technique.

    摘要: To reduce spikes in the current used during read operations by a system of multiple NAND memory dies operated in parallel, relative delays between the memory dies are introduced before high current sub-operations of the read. The occurrence of the primary current peak in the read operation can depend upon the extent to which a selected memory block is programmed. For example, in a closed block the primary peak occurs when ramping up unselected word lines, while for an open block the primary read peak occurs when the bit lines are charged up. To account for these differences, determining where to introduce relative delays is based on the extent to which a block is programmed. For example, if a block fully or largely closed, delays are introduced before ramping up the unselected word lines, but otherwise adding the delays before charging up bit lines.
