The control circuit is configured to perform an erase operation on the block of memory cells by determining a first count of a number of times that the block of memory cells previously has been programmed and erased, determining based on the first count a first drain-to-gate voltage of the first select transistor, wherein the first drain-to-gate voltage is configured to cause the first select transistor to generate a first gate-induced drain leakage current, and applying a first erase pulse to the first select transistor based on the determined first drain-to-gate voltage.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory system separately performs a memory operation for multiple sub-blocks of a block in order from previously determined slowest sub-block of the block to a previously determined faster sub-block of the block. As a slower sub-block is more likely to fail, this order of is more likely to identify a failure earlier in the process thereby saving time and reducing potential for a disturb. In some embodiments, the proposed order of operation can be used in conjunction with a programming process that concurrently programs blocks in multiple planes using completion of programming of a fastest plane to a data state as a trigger to test for program failure of other planes to the data state.

Abstract: To prevent loss of data due to a word line to memory hole short (or another defect), it is proposed to perform an erase process for a plurality of memory cells, detect that a subset of the plurality of memory cells are slow to erase, and prevent successfully programming for at least some of the memory cells that are slow to erase. This technique uses the erase process to predict future word line to memory hole shorts and prevent programming of memory cells predicted to have a future word line to memory hole short so no data will be lost when the short manifests.
