Abstract

See full text

A method of programming a multi-bit per cell non-volatile memory is disclosed. In one embodiment, the non-volatile memory is read to obtain a first data of a most-significant-bit (MSB) page on a current word line that succeeds in data reading, wherein the current word line follows a preceding word line on which data reading fails. At least one reference voltage is set. The MSB page on the current word line is secondly programmed with a second data according to the reference voltage, the second data being different from the first data.
