Abstract
Control logic in a memory device causes a programming pulse to be applied to a set of wordlines, where the programming pulse causes a set of electrons to be injected into a first set of gate regions and a second set of gate regions. The control logic executes a first erase sub-operation on a first subset of the set of wordlines to remove a first subset of the set of electrons from the first set of gate regions. The control logic executes a second erase sub-operation on a second subset of the set of wordlines to remove a second subset of the set of electrons from the second set of gate regions.
