Abstract

See full text

In some non-volatile storage systems, a block of data memory cells is manufactured with a dummy word line at the bottom of the block, at the top of the block, and/or at other locations. By selectively programming memory cells on the dummy word line(s), the resistances associated with the data memory cells can be changed to account for different programmed data patterns.
