NON-VOLATILE MEMORY AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF |
摘要 |
A method of altering threshold voltage distribution of a non-volatile MLC memory before the memory is programmed according to a pre-designated coding table. The method includes grouping a plurality of cells which are pre-designated to have the same first bit voltage in a same main state and then grouping the cells in a selected main state into a same sub state if they have the same pre-designated second bit voltage. The method further has a step by elevating the first bit voltage of the cells with highest pre-designated second bit voltage to a voltage which is greater than the voltage of the pre-designated highest main state. |
