Abstract: A memory device has a plurality of blocks of memory cells and a plurality of bit lines, each block including a group of word lines, and a set of NAND strings. Each block in the plurality of blocks of memory cells has a plurality of sub-blocks, each sub-block including a distinct subset of the set of NAND strings of the block selected, and a respective sub-block string select line. Control circuits are configured to execute a program operation including applying word line voltages and string select line voltages at a precharge level to precharge the set of NAND strings in the selected block, then lowering the gate voltages on all the sub-block string select lines of the block, and then lowering the word line voltages on the group of word lines. Thereafter, the program of cells in a selected sub-block is executed.

Abstract: A metal capacitor provided includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer disposed above a substrate. The first metal layer includes a first electrode sheet and a second electrode sheet, and the second metal layer includes a third electrode sheet and a fourth electrode sheet. The first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet collectively form a first coplanar capacitor. The third electrode sheet and the fourth electrode sheet collectively form a second coplanar capacitor. At least a portion of the fourth electrode sheet is arranged above the first electrode sheet, and the first electrode sheet and the fourth electrode sheet collectively form a first vertical capacitor. At least a portion of the third electrode sheet is arranged above the second electrode sheet, and the second electrode sheet and the third electrode sheet collectively form a second vertical capacitor.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a memory and peripheral circuits with a temperature sensor used to automatically adjust operating voltages. The temperature sensor includes a reference circuit that generates a first reference with a first non-zero temperature coefficient and a second reference with a second temperature coefficient having a different magnitude than the first non-zero temperature coefficient. A detector circuit on the integrated circuit, having temperature and process variation compensation, converts a difference between the first and second references into a digital signal indicating temperature on the integrated circuit.
