摘要： Programming time is reduced in a non-volatile memory in a multi-pass programming process. In a first programming pass, high state cells are programmed by a sequence of program pulses to identify fast and slow high state cells, while lower state cells are locked out from programming. Once identified, the fast high state cells are temporarily locked out from programming while the slow high state cells continue being programmed to their final intended state. Further, the program pulses are sharply stepped up to program the slow high state cells. In a second programming pass, the fast high state cells are programmed along with the other, lower state cells, until they all reach their respective intended states. A time savings is realized compared to approaches in which all high state cells are programmed in the first programming pass.
摘要翻译：在多遍编程过程中，非易失性存储器中的编程时间会减少。在第一编程通道中，高状态单元通过一系列编程脉冲进行编程，以识别快速和慢速的高状态单元，而较低状态单元被从编程中锁定。一旦识别，快速高状态单元暂时被禁止编程，而缓慢的高状态单元继续被编程到其最终预期状态。此外，编程脉冲急剧地升高以对慢速高状态单元进行编程。在第二个编程过程中，快速高状态单元与其他较低状态单元一起编程，直到它们都达到各自的预期状态。与在第一编程通路中编程所有高状态单元的方法相比，实现了时间节省。

摘要： Dynamically determining read levels on chip (e.g., memory die) is disclosed herein. One method comprises reading a group of non-volatile storage elements on a memory die at a first set of read levels. Results of the two most recent of the read levels are stored on the memory die. A count of how many of the non-volatile storage elements in the group showed a different result between the reads for the two most recent read levels is determined. The determining is performed on the memory die using the results stored on the memory die. A dynamic read level is determined for distinguishing between a first pair of adjacent data states of the plurality of data states based on the read level when the count reaches a pre-determined criterion. Note that the read level may be dynamically determined on the memory die.

摘要： A hybrid method of programming a non-volatile memory cell to a final programmed state is described. The method described is a more robust protocol suitable for reliably programming selected memory cells while eliminating programming disturbs. The hybrid method comprises programming the non-volatile memory cell to a first state according to a first coarse programming mechanism, and programming the non-volatile memory cell according to a second different more precise programming mechanism thereby completing the programming of the non-volatile memory cell to the final programmed state. Additionally, the described method is particularly advantageous for programming multilevel chips.

摘要： Unselected groups of non-volatile storage elements are boosted during programming to reduce or eliminate program disturb for targeted, but unselected memory cells connected to a selected word line. Prior to applying a program voltage to the selected word line and boosting the unselected groups, the unselected groups are pre-charged to further reduce or eliminate program disturb by providing a larger boosted potential for the unselected groups. During pre-charging, one or more pre-charge enable signals are provided at higher voltages for certain memory cells that may have undergone partial programming.

摘要： To program one or more non-volatile storage elements, a set of programming pulses are applied to at least one selected non-volatile storage element and one or more particular unselected non-volatile storage elements, for example, via a common word line. A boosting voltage is applied to other unselected non-volatile storage elements during the programming process in order to boost the channels of the unselected non-volatile storage elements so that programming will be inhibited. Each of the programming pulses has a first intermediate magnitude, a second intermediate magnitude and a third magnitude. In one embodiment, the first intermediate magnitude is similar to or the same as the boosting voltage. The second intermediate magnitude is greater than the first intermediate magnitude, but less then the third magnitude. Such an arrangement can reduce the effects of program disturb.
