Patent number: 11250921Abstract: A programming and verifying method for a multi-level memory cell array includes following steps. In a step (a1), a first row of the multi-level memory cell array is set as a selected row, and A is set as 1. In a step (a2), memory cells in the selected row excluding the memory cells in the target storage state and bad memory cells are programmed to the A-th storage state. In a step (a3), if A is not equal to X, 1 is added to X and the step (a2) is performed again. In a step (a4), if A is equal to X, the program cycle is ended. In the step (a2), the first-portion memory cells of the selected row are subjected to plural write actions and plural verification actions until all of the first-portion memory cells reach the A-th storage state.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: EMEMORY TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Ying-Je Chen, Wei-Ming Ku, Wein-Town Sun
