Abstract:
Various embodiments comprise apparatuses such as those having a block of memory divided into sub-blocks that share a common data line. Each of the sub-blocks of the block of memory corresponds to a respective one of a number of segmented sources. Each of the segmented sources is electrically isolated from the other segmented sources of the block of memory. Additional apparatuses and methods of operation are described.

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n in an apparatus comprising a block of memory cells having multiple sub-blocks of strings of memory cells, with each of the sub-blocks including a respective segmented source, and wherein each segmented source is electrically isolated from other segmented sources of the block of memory,\n determining a sub-block of memory to be erased during an erase operation; \n applying a first bias voltage to a respective one of the segmented sources of the sub-block of memory selected to be erased during an erase operation; and \n applying a second bias voltage to the number of segmented sources of sub-blocks of the block of memory not selected to be erased during the erase operation, wherein a magnitude of the second bias voltage is lower than a magnitude of the first bias voltage and is selected to be insufficient to effect an erase-disturb condition in the sub-blocks not selected to be erased during the erase operation.
