Abstract
Example memory devices, systems, and methods for reducing program disturbance in memory devices are disclosed. One example method includes during an n-th loop of a program operation performed on a first memory cell in a memory cell array, applying a first voltage to a first bit line coupled to a second memory cell in the memory cell array, where the first memory cell and the second memory cell are coupled to a first word line. The first bit line is discharged to decrease a voltage of the first bit line from the first voltage to a second voltage, where the second voltage is lower than the first voltage. After the first voltage is applied to the first bit line, a second bit line is set to floating, where the second bit line is coupled to the first memory cell.
