Abstract
A method for data storage includes accepting data for storage in an array of memory cells, which are arranged in rows associated with respective word lines. Data is stored in one or more memory cells of the array using one or more programming levels. In response to a determination that a first memory cell of the one or more memory cells is subject to distortion, a second memory cell may be programmed to a predetermined programming level.
