Abstract

A flash memory die includes (i) a first subset of planes including blocks of flash memory cells connected to a first number of word line layers and a plurality of bit lines having a first length, (ii) a second subset of planes including blocks of flash memory cells connected to a second number of word line layers less than the first number of word line layers and a plurality of bit lines having a second length shorter than the first length, (iii) first peripheral circuitry implemented underneath the first subset of planes and including first sense amplifier circuitry and first peripheral control circuitry connected to the first subset of planes, and second peripheral control circuitry connected to the second subset of planes, and (iv) second peripheral circuitry implemented underneath the second subset of planes and including second sense amplifier circuitry connected to the second subset of planes.
