Multiple step programming in a memory device |
摘要 |
Method of operating a memory include programming a memory cell and reading the memory cell to determine a programmed threshold voltage of the memory cell. If the programmed threshold voltage is within a threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of threshold voltage distributions, the memory cell is reprogrammed, and if the programmed threshold voltage is not within a threshold voltage distribution of the plurality of threshold voltage distributions, the memory cell is allowed to remain at the programmed threshold voltage. |

1. A method of operating a memory, comprising:
programming a memory cell; reading the memory cell to determine a programmed threshold voltage of the memory cell; if the programmed threshold voltage is within a threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of threshold voltage distributions, reprogramming the memory cell; and if the programmed threshold voltage is not within a threshold voltage distribution of the plurality of threshold voltage distributions, leaving the memory cell at the programmed threshold voltage. |
