Abstract

An amount of threshold voltage distribution shift is determined. The threshold voltage distribution shift corresponds to an amount of time after programming of a reference page of a block of a memory device. A program-verify voltage is adjusted based on the amount of threshold voltage distribution shift to obtain an adjusted program-verify voltage. Using the adjusted program-verify voltage, a temporally subsequent page of the block is programmed at a time corresponding to the amount of time after the programming of the reference page.
