Abstract: In addition to word line related short circuits within the blocks of the array structure of a non-volatile memory device, such as NAND memory, word line related shorts can also occur in the routing for supplying the word lines of the memory blocks. Depending on the layout of the routing, some shorts for the word lines associated with one block can affect other blocks of the memory array. In particular, if the routing of a pair of adjacent local supply lines are adjacent to a global supply line, a short between the pair of adjacent local supply lines for one block can lead, through the global supply line, to defects in another of the block. Techniques are presented for detecting these layout related problematic word lines.
