Abstract

See full text

A memory device includes an array of memory cells associated with wordlines and control logic. The control logic performs operations that cause a corrective read operation to be performed at a selected memory cell. The operations include: causing a first voltage to be applied to a first wordline associated with the selected memory cell; causing a second voltage, having a lower magnitude than the first voltage, to be applied to wordlines adjacent to the first wordline and associated with each of two neighbor memory cells of the selected memory cell; in response to determining that current flows through the two neighbor memory cells and the selected memory cell between a bitline and a source line of the array, identifying a first corrective read voltage; and causing the first corrective read voltage to be applied to the first wordline during a read operation for the selected memory cell.
