Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, modules, and systems for healing non-volatile memory cells. One method includes biasing a first select gate transistor coupled to a string of memory cells at a first voltage, biasing a second select gate transistor coupled to the string at a second voltage, applying a first healing voltage to a first edge word line in order to extract charge accumulated between the first select gate transistor and a first edge memory cell stack of the string, and applying a second healing voltage to a second edge word line in order to extract charge accumulated between the second select gate transistor and a second edge memory cell stack of the string.
