Abstract:
A memory device that includes: a memory controller; a control unit; and a memory cell array that includes memory blocks, each memory block comprising: memory cells, word lines respectively coupled to the memory cells, signal lines to transfer signals to perform programming operations to one or more memory cells of the memory cells, a first metal layer coupled to a first group of lines and configured to route the first group of the lines to the control unit, the lines comprising the word lines and the signal lines, and a second metal layer coupled to a second group of the lines and configured to route the second group of the lines to the control unit, wherein the memory controller is configured to: control the control unit to (i) select particular memory cells and (ii) program data to the particular memory cells is disclosed.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for programming one or more data to one or more memory cells of a memory device, the method comprising:\n receiving addresses for one or more memory cells to program; selecting, based on the addresses, the one or more memory cells to program through a plurality of word lines that are respectively coupled to a plurality of memory cells in the memory device and a plurality of signal lines that are configured to transfer signals to perform programming operations to the one or more memory cells, wherein the plurality of signal lines include string select lines, common source lines, ground select lines, dummy word lines, and inversion word lines; and applying, by a memory controller, one or more voltages to the one or more memory cells to program the one or more memory cells through the plurality of word lines and the plurality of signal lines, wherein a first metal layer is coupled to a first group of lines and is configured to route the first group of the lines to at least one of one or more control units, the lines comprising the plurality of word lines and the plurality of signal lines, and wherein a second metal layer is coupled to a second group of the lines and is configured to route the second group of the lines to at least one of the one or more control units.
