Publication number: 20260017190Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to adaptively allocate word lines (WLs). The controller accesses reliability data of a set of main WLs of a block of the set of memory components. The controller determines that one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block are associated with respective reliability data that transgress a threshold and, in response to determining that the one or more WLs are associated with the respective reliability data that transgress the threshold, replaces the one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block with one or more dummy WLs. The controller programs data into the block using the one or more dummy WLs instead of the one or more WLs of the set of main WLs of the block.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2025Publication date: January 15, 2026Inventors: Tarun Singh Yadav, Scott Anthony Stoller, Pitamber Shukla, Fulvio Rori, Attila A.

Publication number: 20260011373Abstract: Control logic in a memory device initiates a program operation including application of a set of programming pulses to a wordline associated with one or more memory cells of a memory array to be programmed to a set of programming levels. During a first sub-phase of the programming operation, the control logic causes each programming pulse to program a first subset of programming levels, wherein programming of a second subset of one or more programming levels is inhibited. During a second sub-phase of the programming operation, the control logic programs the second subset of one or more programming levels, where the second subset of one or more of the plurality of programming levels are associated with one or more lower voltage levels than the first subset of the plurality of programming levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2025Publication date: January 8, 2026Inventors: Tomoko Ogura Iwasaki, Sheyang Ning, Lawrence Celso Miranda, Justin Bates, Fulvio Rori, Jeffrey S.

Publication number: 20250181492Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for suspend operations are described. A memory device may perform a write operation including one or more programming phases and one or more verify phases. The memory device may receive a read command while performing the write operation and determine whether the verify phase of the write operation is complete.
