Abstract
A memory device for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation is disclosed. The memory device includes a location-related memory cell and a refresh module. The location-related memory cell is coupled to a bit line. The refresh module is configured to refresh the location-related memory cell by reading data stored in the location-related memory cell and then writing the data back to the location-related memory cell in a condition that a target memory cell that is coupled to the bit line is programmed or erased. A method for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation is also disclosed herein.
