Abstract:
A NAND flash memory unit is described, including a string of memory cells connected in series, S/D regions coupled to two terminals of the string, at least one select transistor couple between a terminal of the string and an S/D region, and at least one erase transistor couple between the at least one select transistor and an S/D region. The select transistor is for selecting the string of memory cells. The erase transistor is for reducing Vt-shift of the select transistor.

Abstract:
A data reading method for a rewritable non-volatile memory module, a memory controller using the method, and a memory storage apparatus using the method are provided. The method includes applying a bias for reading data to a target word line electrically connected to a target memory cell and applying a bias for selecting bit lines to a target bit line electrically connected to the target memory cell. The method also includes applying a first bias to at least one word line adjacent to the target word line and applying a second bias to other word lines, and the first bias is lower than the second bias. The method further includes outputting a corresponding value according to a conduction state of a channel of the target memory cell. Accordingly, the method can effectively increase the gate controllability of the memory cell to prevent read errors.
