Abstract
Memories having a controller configured to perform methods during programming operations including apply a first voltage level to a data line selectively connected to a selected memory cell selected, apply a lower second voltage level to a select gate connected between the data line and the memory cell, decrease the voltage level applied to the data line from the first voltage level to a third voltage level while continuing to apply the second voltage level to the select gate, increase the voltage level applied to the select gate from the second voltage level to a fourth voltage level after the voltage level of the data line settles to the third voltage level, and apply a programming voltage to the memory cell after increasing the voltage level applied to the select gate to the fourth voltage level.
