Abstract
A memory chip includes a memory array and a two-dimensional sensing system. The array includes a multiplicity of memory cells connected in rows by word lines and in columns by bit lines. The sensing system moves a read point two-dimensionally within a two-dimensional read space as the two-dimensional read space shrinks and shifts over the life of the chip.
