Abstract
Methods of operating a memory, and memory configured to perform similar methods, might include applying a negative first voltage level to a control gate of a transistor connected between a first node and a string of series-connected memory cells, increasing a voltage level applied to the first node at a particular rate while increasing the voltage level applied to the control gate of the transistor at the particular rate, and in response to the voltage level applied to the first node reaching a particular voltage level, ceasing increasing the voltage level applied to the first node and ceasing increasing the voltage level applied to the control gate of the transistor.
