Claim 9:
10. The memory device as set forth in claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to apply a programming pulse to a control gate of the selected word line and apply a first quick pass write (QPW) voltage to at least one bit line coupled with the at least one memory cell in response to a determination in a previous program-verify iteration that the threshold voltage of the at least one memory cell is between the first and second verify low voltages VL1, VL2; and apply a second QPW voltage to the at least one bit line coupled with the at least one memory cell in response to a determination in a previous program-verify iteration that the threshold voltage of the at least one memory cell is between the second verify low voltage VL2 and the verify high voltage VH, and wherein the second QPW voltage is greater than the first QPW voltage.
