Abstract
A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in a plurality of planes and control circuitry configured to perform a multi-plane programming operation in which memory cells in each of the plurality of planes are programmed in a single programming operation. To perform the multi-plane programming operation, the control circuity is configured to detect a neighbor plane disturb (NPD) defect during the multi-plane programming operation, in response to detecting the NPD defect, terminate the multi-plane programming operation prior to completing the multi-plane programming operation, and identify which plane of the plurality of planes includes the NPD defect.
