  • Publication number: 20260017190
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20260011373
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250181492
    Abstract: 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. The memory device may suspend a performance of the write operation in response to determining that the verify phase of the write operation is complete. The memory device may transmit first information for the write operation from a first latch to a volatile memory device in response to suspending the performance of the write operation. The memory device may perform a read operation associated with the read command in response to suspending the performance of the write operation and transferring the first information.

  • Publication number: 20240339158
    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device initiates a program operation including a first phase including applying a ramping voltage level to a set of wordlines of a memory device to boost a set of pillar voltages and a second phase including applying a set of programming pulses to a wordline associated with one or more memory cells of the memory device to be programmed to a set of programming levels, wherein each programming level of the set of programming levels is programmed by each programming pulse. During the first phase of the program operation, a first voltage applied to a drain-side select line (SGD) is adjusted from a first SGD voltage level to a second SGD voltage level.
