MANAGING COMPENSATION FOR CHARGE COUPLING AND LATERAL MIGRATION IN MEMORY DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17860690 titled 'MANAGING COMPENSATION FOR CHARGE COUPLING AND LATERAL MIGRATION IN MEMORY DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for increasing the read window budget (RWB) in a memory access operation. The method involves selecting a target RWB increase and identifying a set of aggressor memory cells. A list of programming level states for the aggressor memory cells is generated, and an entry associated with a maximum RWB increase that meets or exceeds the target RWB increase is identified in the list. The method further involves modifying a parameter of the memory access operation based on the adjustment associated with the identified entry.

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments disclosed can include selecting a target read window budget (RWB) increase and identifying a set of aggressor memory cells. They can also include generating a list of programming level states for the set of aggressor memory cells and identifying, in the list, an entry associated with a maximum RWB increase that is greater than or equal to the target RWB increase. They can further include responsive to identifying the entry with the total number of bits associated with a maximum RWB increase that is greater than or equal to the target RWB increase, modifying a parameter of the memory access operation with the adjustment associated with the identified entry.
