Publication number: 20250014641Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory device has a memory array including memory cells. A controller of the memory device applies multiple pre-read voltages to memory cells prior to performing write operations on the memory cells. The controller applies a first pre-read voltage to determine which of the memory cells have a sensed current that exceeds a threshold. In response to determining that a percentage of the memory cells exceeding the threshold is too low (e.g., below a fixed limit), the controller determines to apply a second pre-read voltage to the memory cells. The second pre-read voltage has a greater magnitude than the first pre-read voltage, and can be applied to ensure greater reliability in properly determining the existing programming state of the memory cells. The controller then applies write voltages to the memory cells as appropriate based on target logic states for each memory cell and the programming mode to be used by the controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Yen Chun Lee, Nevil N.

Patent number: 11728005Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus to implement bipolar read retry. In response to a determination that a first result of reading a set of memory cells using a first magnitude of read voltage is erroneous, a second magnitude of read voltage, greater than the first magnitude, is identified for the bipolar read retry. In the retry, a controller uses voltage drivers to apply, to the set of memory cells, first voltages of the second magnitude in a first polarity to obtain a second result of reading the set of memory cells and, after the second result is generated and in parallel with decoding the second result, apply second voltages of the second magnitude in a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Yen Chun Lee, Karthik Sarpatwari, Nevil N.

Patent number: 11664074Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus to program memory cells to an intermediate state. A first voltage pulse is applied in a first polarity across each respective memory cell among the memory cells to move its threshold voltage in the first polarity to a first voltage region representative of a first value. A second voltage pulse is then applied in a second polarity to further move its threshold voltage in the first polarity to a second voltage region representative of a second value and the intermediate state. A magnitude of the second voltage pulse applied for the memory cells is controlled by increasing the magnitude in increments until the memory cells are sensed to be conductive. Optionally, prior to the first voltage pulse, a third voltage pulse is applied in the second polarity to cancel or reduce a drift in threshold voltages of the respective memory cell.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Karthik Sarpatwari, Nevil N.
