Abstract:
In order to have different subsets of memory cells of a non-volatile memory system erase at the same speed, it is proposed to perform erasing by separately controlling the speed of erase for the different subsets in response to observing speed information for the subsets during the erasing.

Claim (Index 21):
A non-volatile storage apparatus, comprising:\n a common bit line; a common set of word lines; a plurality of selection lines; a plurality of non-volatile memory cells arranged in multiple NAND strings connected to the common set of word lines and the plurality of selection lines, each of the NAND strings is connected to the common bit line, each NAND string of the multiple NAND strings has its own select gate that connects the common bit line to the respective NAND string, each NAND string of the multiple NAND strings has a separate selection line of the plurality of selection lines connected to its select gate; and a control circuit connected to the memory cells, the control circuit is configured to erase the memory cells by applying an erase signal to the memory cells and separately adjust an erase speed for a subset of the NAND strings by adjusting voltages on the selection lines.
