Abstract:
Non-volatile memory strings may include multiple selection devices for coupling memory cell devices to a bit line. Different programming operations may be used to program various individual selection devices in a non-volatile memory cells string. For example, a control circuit may set a threshold voltage of a particular selection device to a value greater than a threshold voltage of another selection device. In another example, the control circuit may program the selection device using an initial sense time. Subsequent to programming the selection device using the initial sense time, the control circuit may program the selection device using a different sense time that is shorter than the initial sense time.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n an array of non-volatile memory cell strings including a non-volatile memory cell string including multiple data storage devices and a select gate drain device including multiple selection devices, wherein each of the multiple data storage devices and each of the multiple selection devices are coupled to a channel coupled to a bit line; the multiple selection devices including a selection device adjacent to the bit line and configured to control conduction in a portion of the channel; and a control circuit configured to program the selection device and at least one other selection device of the multiple selection devices by way of both a first programming; wherein the first programming operation sets a sense parameter of the selection device and sets a sense parameter of the at least one other selection device; and wherein the second programming operation does not set the sense parameter of the selection device and sets the sense parameter of the at least one other selection device.
