Dynamic erase loop dependent bias voltage

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products for a dynamic bias voltage are presented. A monitor circuit is configured to determine whether an erase loop count of an erase operation for data word lines of an erase block satisfies a threshold. A bias circuit is configured to adjust a voltage applied to one or more dummy word lines of an erase block in response to an erase loop count for data word lines satisfying a threshold. An erase circuit is configured to perform one or more subsequent erase loops of an erase operation for data word lines with an adjusted voltage applied to one or more dummy word lines.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
