Abstract:
Program disturb is a condition that includes the unintended programming of a memory cell while performing a programming process for other memory cells. Such unintended programming can cause an error in the data being stored. In some cases, program disturb can result from electrons trapped in the channel being accelerated from one side of a selected word line to another side of the selected word line and redirected into the selected word line. To prevent such program disturb, it is proposed to open the channel from one side of a selected word line to the other side of the selected word line after a sensing operation for program verify and prior to a subsequent programming voltage being applied.

Claim (Index 21):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a monolithic three dimensional memory array comprising a lower set of alternating conductive and dielectric layers and an upper set of alternating conductive and dielectric layers separated by a joint that together form a plurality of word lines and a plurality of vertical charge-trapping NAND strings each having a channel; means for providing a series of programming pulses to a selected word line to program memory cells connected to the selected word line that are in selected NAND strings; means for boosting the channels of unselected NAND strings including boosting source side of channels of unselected NAND strings and drain side of channels of unselected NAND strings with respect to the selected word line; and means for electrically communicating between source side of channels of unselected NAND strings and drain side of channels of unselected NAND strings while boosting source side of channels of unselected NAND strings and drain side of channels of unselected NAND strings.
