Abstract
Non-volatile memory cells are programmed by raising a voltage applied to a selected word line to a program voltage during a first time period of a programming process for selected non-volatile memory cells connected to the selected word line; programming the selected non-volatile memory cells using the program voltage during a second time period after the first time period; testing, during the first time period, whether the voltage applied to the selected word line is greater than one or more intermediate voltages; and elongating the first time period during the first time period if the voltage applied to the selected word line is not greater than one or more of the intermediate voltages.
