NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17742879 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: This patent application describes a non-volatile memory device that includes word lines stacked on a substrate, string select lines on the word lines, and a memory cell array with memory blocks. The string select lines are spaced apart from each other in a horizontal direction and extend in another horizontal direction. The memory device performs program operations on memory cells connected to the word lines and string select lines in a specific order.
- The memory device includes word lines, string select lines, and memory blocks.
- Word lines are stacked on a substrate.
- String select lines are positioned on the word lines and spaced apart from each other in one direction.
- String select lines extend in another direction.
- Memory blocks consist of memory cells connected to the word lines and string select lines.
- The memory device performs program operations on memory cells in a specific order.
Potential Applications:
- Non-volatile memory devices can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- This technology can be applied in data storage systems, allowing for efficient and reliable data storage.
Problems Solved:
- This technology solves the problem of efficiently programming memory cells in a non-volatile memory device.
- By performing program operations in a specific order, the memory device ensures optimal programming efficiency.
Benefits:
- The memory device provides improved programming efficiency by performing program operations in a specific order.
- This technology enhances the reliability and performance of non-volatile memory devices.
- By optimizing the programming process, the memory device can offer faster data storage and retrieval.
Original Abstract Submitted
A non-volatile memory device is provided. The memory device includes: word lines stacked on a substrate; a string select lines on the word lines, the string select lines being spaced apart from each other in a first horizontal direction and extending in a second horizontal direction; and a memory cell array including memory blocks, each of which includes memory cells connected to the word lines and the string select lines. The string select lines include a first string select line, and a second string select line which is farther from a word line cut region than the first string select line, and a program operation performed on second memory cells connected to a selected word line and the second string select line is performed before a program operation performed on first memory cells connected to the selected word line and the first string select line.
