Title: Hayato Horie and NAND Memory Programming
Introduction
Hayato Horie is an inventor associated with Yokohama, Japan, and Sandisk Technologies Inc. His work includes a patent concerning NAND memory programming and the control of source-select lines in unselected memory blocks.
Latest Patents
Horie is associated with 1 patent, titled “SGS Voltage in Unselected Blocks During Program.” The technology applies a low voltage, such as VSS, to the SGS lines of unselected blocks neighboring a block selected for programming. This keeps the source-select transistors off and disconnects the neighboring NAND channels from the source line. In other unselected blocks, the control circuitry may float the SGS lines, allowing the source-line voltage to rise more quickly and helping accelerate programming.
Career Highlights
Horie’s listed patent work addresses memory-system control during NAND programming. The approach balances isolation of neighboring blocks with faster source-line voltage ramp-up.
Collaborations
Horie’s listed coworkers include Alvin Joshua and Yuki Kuniyoshi. His patent is associated with Sandisk Technologies Inc.
Conclusion
Hayato Horie’s patent describes a method for managing SGS voltages in unselected NAND memory blocks to support reliable and efficient programming.
