Abstract
A memory device includes a plurality of planes. A method of programming the memory device includes applying a first program pulse to one or more memory cells of a first plane of the plurality of planes, verifying whether each one of the memory cells reaches a predetermined program state, and in response to a preset number of the memory cells in the first plane failing to reach the predetermined program state after the memory cells being verified for a predetermined number of times, bypassing the first plane when applying a second program pulse after the first program pulse.
Claims20
A method of programming a memory device, the memory device comprising planes, the method comprising:
- applying a first program pulse to a first plane of the planes;
- verifying whether the first plane reaches a predetermined program state;
- and
- in response to determining that the first plane has not been verified successfully yet after the first plane being verified for a predetermined number of times, bypassing the first plane when applying a second program pulse after the first program pulse.
A memory device, comprising:
- planes;
- and
- a peripheral circuit coupled to the planes and configured to:
- apply a first program pulse to a first plane of the planes;
- verify whether the first plane reaches a predetermined program state;
- and
- in response to determining that the first plane has not been verified successfully yet after the first plane is verified for a predetermined number of times, bypass the first plane when applying a second program pulse after the first program pulse.
A method of programming a memory device, the memory device comprising a first plane and a second plane, the method comprising:
- simultaneously performing a first programming of the first plane and the second plane;
- in response to the first programming of the first plane being failed, disabling a second programming of the first plane that follows after the first programming;
- and
- in response to the first programming of the second plane being passed, enabling a second programming of the second plane that follows after the first programming.
