  • Publication number: 20140104957
    Abstract: A memory system is programmed with minimal program disturb and reduced junction and channel leakage during self-boosting. Pre-charging bias signals are applied to word lines adjacent to a selected word line before a program signal is applied to the selected word line and a pass signal is applied to the remaining word lines. The pre-charging bias signals apply a pre-charge to the memory cells. The pre-charging bias signals are chosen to improve the isolation of the memory cells on word lines adjacent to the selected word line, improve self boost efficiency and reduce current leakage to prevent or reduce program disturb and/or programming errors especially in the inhibited memory cells on the selected word line.
