  • MEMORY DEVICES WITH PROGRAM VERIFY LEVELS BASED ON COMPENSATION VALUES
    Publication number: 20240071531
    Abstract: A memory device includes an array of memory cells and a controller configured to access the array of memory cells to program a selected memory cell of the array of memory cells to a target level based on a compensation value of a program command. The controller is further configured to sense a threshold voltage of the selected memory cell. The controller is further configured to in response to the compensation value having a first value and the threshold voltage being greater than a first program verify level, inhibit programming of the selected memory cell. The controller is further configured to in response to the compensation value having a second value different from the first value and the threshold voltage being greater than a second program verify level less than the first program verify level, inhibit programming of the selected memory cell.
