NON-VOLATILE MEMORY WITH INTELLIGENT ERASE TESTING TO AVOID NEIGHBOR PLANE DISTURB - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18358651 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY WITH INTELLIGENT ERASE TESTING TO AVOID NEIGHBOR PLANE DISTURB
Simplified Explanation
A non-volatile memory system can erase groups of memory cells in multiple planes simultaneously. If a group of memory cells in one plane is slow to erase, the system will perform multiplane erase processes without erasing the slow group.

This technology can also be applied in solid-state drives, embedded systems, industrial automation, data centers, and consumer electronics for enhanced data management and storage capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A non-volatile memory system is configured to perform a multiplane erase process that concurrently erases groups of memory cells in multiple planes. Based on that multiplane erase process, the memory system determines that a first group of memory cells in a first plane of the multiple planes is slow to erase. As a result, the system will perform one or more multiplane erase processes for the groups of memory cells in multiple planes without erasing the first group of memory cells in the first plane as part of the multiplane erase process(es).
