Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments provide both “string-sharing” drain select gate electrodes and “string-selective” drain select gate electrodes in vertical NAND strings. Various embodiments may provide two or more vertical NAND strings sharing a common drain select gate electrode while also having separate additional drain select gate electrodes not electrically connected across the two or more vertical NAND strings.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating the memory device of  claim 1 , comprising:\n applying, during a programming operation, a first bias voltage to the common drain select gate electrode, a second bias voltage to a selected one of the first separate drain select gate electrode or the second separate drain select gate electrode, and a third bias voltage to an un-selected one of the first separate drain select gate electrode or the second separate drain select gate electrode, wherein the first bias voltage and the second bias voltage are both higher voltages than the third bias voltage.
