Abstract:
Methods of operating a memory include applying a programming pulse having a particular voltage level to a selected access line connected to a plurality of memory cells selected for programming during a programming operation, concurrently enabling for programming each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells selected for programming while applying the programming pulse, applying a subsequent programming pulse having a plurality of different voltage levels to the selected access line, and, for each group of memory cells of a plurality of groups of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells selected for programming, enabling that group of memory cells for programming while the subsequent programming pulse has a corresponding voltage level of the plurality of different voltage levels.
