Abstract
Memory devices include an array of memory cells and circuitry for control and/or access of the array of memory cells, wherein the circuitry is configured to perform a method including applying a particular voltage to an unselected access line of a program operation, sensing a current of a selected access line of the program operation while applying the particular voltage to the unselected access line, indicating a fail status of the program operation if an absolute value of the sensed current of the selected access line is greater than a particular current, and proceeding with the program operation if the absolute value of the sensed current of the selected access line is less than a particular current.
