  • Patent number: 10103161
    Abstract: Die cracking of a three dimensional memory device may be reduced by adding offsets to backside contact via structures. Each backside contact via structure can include laterally extending portions that extend along a first horizontal direction adjoined by adjoining portions that extend along a horizontal direction other than the first horizontal direction. In order to preserve periodicity of memory stack structures extending through an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, the distance between an outermost row of a string of memory stack structures between a pair of backside contact via structures and a most proximal backside contact via structure can vary from a laterally extending portion to another laterally extending portion within the most proximal backside contact via structure. Source shunt lines that are parallel to bit lines can be formed over a selected subset of offset portions of the backside contact via structures.

  • Patent number: 10051154
    Abstract: When a request for a service is made from a Web browser to a Web application, the Web application requests the service from a service provider of an MFP in accordance with the request. The service provider obtains a destination URL from the Web browser, and compares the destination URL with the URL of a service host written in a manifest file of a cooperation permission application. If those URLs match, the service provision is permitted.

  • Patent number: 8988947
    Abstract: Different back bias (or body bias) conditions are applied to a non-volatile storage system during different program verify operations of a programming operation. A back bias may be applied during verify of an intermediate state (e.g., a lower page, middle page). The intermediate state is a state that exists during a program operation, but is not one of the final states. A lower back bias or no back bias is applied during verify of a final state (e.g., an upper page). Thus, a different back bias may be used when verifying an intermediate state than the back bias used when verifying a final state. Using the back bias makes it easier to verify a low VTH, such as a negative VTH. Also, using the back bias is effective at dealing with sense amplifier headroom issues.

  • Patent number: 8942047
    Abstract: Upon selecting non-volatile storage elements to be sensed, the system obtains information about the position of these non-volatile storage elements, determines sensing parameters based at least in part on this information, pre-charges a charge storage device and, while maintaining the voltage level of the bit lines of these memory cells at a constant value, applies a reference signal to these non-volatile storage elements for a certain duration of time, afterwards determining whether, for the certain duration of time, the current conducted by these non-volatile storage elements exceeds a predetermined value.
