Abstract
A memory and a method for programming a memory device are discussed. The method comprises selecting a cell to program, wherein the cell is coupled to a bit line, applying a first programming pulse, wherein the first programming pulse comprises applying a first voltage to the bit line, verifying if the cell is programmed after applying the first programming pulse, and applying a second programming pulse to the bit line after applying the first programming pulse if the cell is not programmed after applying the first programming pulse, wherein second programming pulse comprises applying a second voltage to the bit line, wherein the second voltage is different than the first voltage.
