LINE VOLTAGE BOOST SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICES AND MEMORY DEVICES AND PROCESSOR-BASED SYSTEM USING SAME

摘要

The voltage of a selected word line is increased beyond the voltage to which a respective string driver transistor is capable of driving the word line by capacitively coupling a voltage to the selected word line from adjacent word lines. The voltage is capacitively coupled to the selected word line by increasing the voltages of the adjacent word lines after a programming voltage has been applied to a string driver transistor for the selected word line and after a string driver voltage has been applied to the gates of all of the string driver transistors in an array.
