Abstract:
A method for operating a memory array is provided. The memory array comprises a first NAND memory string comprising a i th  memory cell, a i−1 th  memory cell, a i th  word line, and a i−1 th  word line. The i th  memory cell and the i−1 th  memory cell are arranged in a sequent order with a series electrical connection. The i th  word line is electrically connected to the i th  memory cell. The i−1 th  word line is electrically connected to the i−1 th  memory cell. The method for operating the memory array comprises in an operating time interval, performing a program inhibiting process to the i th  memory cell, and simultaneously performing a first process to the i th  memory cell. The program inhibiting process comprises providing a first pre-turn on voltage to the i th  word line. The first process comprises providing a second pre-turn on voltage to the i−1 th  word line.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for operating a memory array, wherein the memory array comprises a first NAND memory string, the first NAND memory string comprising:\n an i th  memory cell, an i\u22121 th  memory cell, and an i\u22122 th  memory cell arranged in a sequent order with a series electrical connection; an i th  word line electrically connected to the i th  memory cell; an i\u22121 th  word line electrically connected to the i\u22121 th  memory cell; and an i\u22122 th  word line electrically connected to the i\u22122 th  memory cell, wherein the method for operating the memory array comprises: in an operating time interval, performing a program inhibiting process to the i th  memory cell, and simultaneously performing a first process to the i\u22121 th  memory cell, wherein the program inhibiting process comprises providing a first pre-turn on voltage and then a first pass voltage to the i th  word line, the first process comprises providing a second pre-turn on voltage and then a second pass voltage to the i\u22121 th  word line; and providing a third pass voltage to the i\u22122 th  word line during providing the second pass voltage to the i\u22121 th  word line, wherein the second pass voltage is higher than the first pass voltage, and the second pass voltage is higher than the third pass voltage.
