Abstract
A memory device includes memory cells in rows, word lines respectively coupled to the rows, and a control circuitry coupled to the memory cells via the word lines. The control circuitry is configured to apply a first program voltage to a first word line of the word lines. The first word line is coupled to a first row of the memory cells. The control circuitry is also configured to, after applying the first program voltage to the first word line, apply a second program voltage to a second word line of the word lines. The second word line is coupled to a second row of the memory cells. The control circuitry is also configured to, after applying the second program voltage to the second word line, apply a first pre-charge voltage to the first word line and a second pre-charge voltage to the second word line. The second pre-charge voltage is greater than the first pre-charge voltage.
