Abstract
Technology for compensation for a sub-block mode (SBM) back pattern effect. When in a sub-block mode, the memory system determines a magnitude for a program verify voltage for a selected word line in a selected sub-block in a selected block. The magnitude for the program verify voltage depends on a programmed status of the word lines in one or more unselected sub-blocks in the selected block when the program verify voltage is applied to the selected word line. The memory system may also determine a magnitude for a read reference voltage for the selected word line. The magnitude for the read reference voltage depends on a programmed status of the word lines in the one or more unselected sub-blocks in the selected block when the read reference voltage is applied to the selected word line.
