Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for managing memory devices are provided. In one aspect, a memory device can include a memory array and a peripheral circuit. The memory array can include a first and a second memory string. The peripheral circuit is configured to perform a first verification operation during a first loop of a program operation to program the first memory string. During a pre-pulse phase of the first verification operation, a pass voltage is applied to a first select line coupled to first select gate transistor of the second memory string for a first duration. The peripheral circuit is configured to perform a second verification operation during a second loop of the program operation that is after the first loop. During a pre-pulse phase of the second verification operation, a pass voltage is applied to the first select line for a second duration shorter than the first duration.
