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 18):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein:\n the plurality of control lines comprises a first stack of alternating word line layers and dielectric layers, a second stack of alternating word line layers and dielectric layers, and a joint area between the first stack and the second stack; the selected control line is a selected word line in the second stack; and the ramping down the unselected control line adjacent to the selected control line and connected to already programmed memory cells subsequent to ramping down another unselected control line and connected to already programmed memory cells and a control line connected to not yet programmed memory cells maintains a programmed side of the second channel to be in electrical communication with an unprogrammed side of the second channel to allow the electrons positioned in the joint area to move from the programmed side of the second channel into the unprogrammed side of the second channel.
