Abstract
Control logic in a memory device receives a request to program data to a block of a memory array of the memory device, the block comprising a plurality of sub-blocks, and identifies a first sub-block of the plurality of sub-blocks to be programmed with at least a portion of the data. The control logic further causes a plurality of control signals to be applied to a plurality of logical select gate layers positioned at a drain-side of the block to activate the first sub-block, and causes a program signal to be applied to a selected wordline of the block to program at least the portion of the data to a memory cell in the first sub-block and associated with the selected wordline.
