Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device comprising a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic can perform operations comprising causing a read operation to be initiated with respect to a set of target cells of the memory array; obtaining, for a respective group of adjacent cells, respective cell state information; performing a set of strobe reads on the set of target cells; and generating, for a target cell of the set of target cells, semi-soft bit data based on the respective cell state information of the respective group of adjacent cells and on data obtained from a first strobe read and a second strobe read of the set of strobe reads performed on the target cell.
