ABSTRACT:
A method for programming that biases a selected word line with a programming voltage. An unselected word line on the source side and an unselected word line on the drain side of the selected word line are biased at a pass voltage that is less than the normal pass voltage. These unselected word lines are both located a predetermined distance from the selected word line. The remaining word lines are biased at the normal pass voltage.
