  • Publication number: 20240071515
    Abstract: Control logic of a memory device to initiate an erase operation including a set of erase loops to erase one or more memory cells of the memory device. During a first erase loop of the set of erase loops, a first erase pulse having an erase voltage level is caused to be applied to a source line associated with the one or more memory cells. During the first erase loop, a first erase bias voltage having an initial voltage level is caused to be applied to a first select gate and a second erase bias voltage having the initial voltage level is caused to be applied to a second select gate associated with the source line, where the first erase bias voltage level is based on a first delta voltage level. During a subset of erase loops following the first erase loop, a second erase pulse having the erase voltage level is caused to be applied to the source line.

  • Publication number: 20240062827
    Abstract: A memory device can include a memory device coupled with a processing device. The processing device causes a first erase operation to be performed at a block, where the first erase operation causes a pre-program voltage and a first erase voltage having a first magnitude to be applied to the block. The processing device causes an erase detection operation to be performed at the block. The processing device determines that the block fails to satisfy the erase detection operation responsive to causing the erase detection operation to be performed. The processing device further causes a second erase operation to be performed at the block responsive to determining that the block failed the erase detection operation, where the second erase operation causes a second erase voltage having a second magnitude to be applied to the block.
