Abstract
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device, described herein, comprises non-volatile storage elements and one or more control circuits in communication with the non-volatile storage elements. The one or more control circuits are configured to, during a program iteration of a program operation, determine whether a program voltage level of the program iteration exceeds a threshold program voltage level and in response to the determination, identify a set of voltage levels to apply to a source line connected to a set of the non-volatile storage elements. The one or more control circuits are further configured to perform the program iteration of the program operation on the set of non-volatile storage elements, where the program iteration includes applying the set of voltage levels to the source line.
