Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
performing a programming operation for a set of memory cells to store a set of bits in the memory cells; and
performing verify operations for the set of memory cells, wherein the verify operations comprise:
a first verify operation for the set of memory cells based on memory cell voltages for the set of memory cells and a verify high voltage threshold, wherein the programming operation is determined to be completed if at least one of the memory cell voltages satisfy the verify high voltage threshold; and
an application of a bit line voltage to a memory cell of the set of memory cells based on a memory cell voltage associated with the memory cell and a target voltage threshold, wherein the bit line voltage is applied to the memory cell if the memory cell voltage associated with the memory cell fails to satisfy the target voltage threshold.
