Application ID: 13590155

Base Claim:
1. A method for programming non-volatile storage including a set of word lines connected to a group of connected non-volatile storage elements, the set of word lines include a selected word line, a set of unselected word lines that are adjacent to the selected word line and a set of other unselected word lines, the method comprising: raising the selected word line and the set of other unselected word lines to a first voltage during a first time period from a first time to a second time; raising the set of unselected word lines that are adjacent to the selected word line to one or more second voltages different from the first voltage during the first time period; raising the selected word line to a program voltage causing at least one of the non-volatile storage elements to experience programming during a second time period from the second time to a third time; raising the set of unselected word lines that are adjacent to the selected word line to a third voltage during the second time period; and maintaining the set of other unselected word lines at the first voltage during the second time period.

Claim 9:
9. The method of claim 1 wherein raising the set of unselected word lines that are adjacent to the selected word line to a third voltage during the second time period further comprises raising the set of unselected word lines that are adjacent to the selected word line from the one or more second voltages to the third voltage and raising the selected word line to the program voltage in the second time period with more gradual rise timing than used in the first time period.
