Abstract
The memory device includes a memory block with an array of memory cells that are arranged in a plurality of word lines. The memory device also includes circuitry that is configured to program the memory cells of a selected word line of the plurality of word lines in a plurality of program loops. During at least one of the program loops, the circuitry is configured to apply a programming pulse and at least one verify pulse to the selected word line, then determine a number of memory cells to be verified to establish a verify count, and then compare the verify count to a predetermined threshold count. The circuitry then sets at least one bit scan pass fail (BSPF) criteria based on the comparison of the verify count to the predetermined threshold count.
