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 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a plurality of non-volatile memory cells connected by a channel; a plurality of control lines connected to the non-volatile memory cells; a programming circuit connected to a plurality of word lines, the programming circuit configured to apply a programming voltage to a selected word line; and a boosting circuit connected to the word lines, the boosting circuit configured to boost voltage of the channel and apply a voltage spike to a programmed unselected word line adjacent to the selected word line while boosting the voltage of the channel.
