Assignee: INTEL NDTM US LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
performing the following on a flash memory chip:
measuring a temperature of the flash memory chip;
changing a program step size voltage of a first array of stacked storage cells of the flash memory chip because the temperature of the flash memory chip has changed including decreasing the program step size voltage as the temperature of the flash memory chip moves away from a midpoint temperature of a rated temperature range of the flash memory chip and toward a maximum temperature of the rated temperature range of the flash memory chip; and,
changing the program step size voltage of the first array of stacked storage cells of the flash memory chip because the temperature of the flash memory chip has again changed including decreasing the program step size voltage as the temperature of the flash memory chip moves away from a midpoint temperature of a rated temperature range of the flash memory chip and toward a minimum temperature of the rated temperature range of the flash memory chip, wherein, a different program step size voltage exists for each different temperature within the rated temperature range of the flash memory chip from the midpoint temperature of the rated temperature range of the flash memory chip to the minimum temperature of the rated temperature range of the flash memory chip.
