Abstract

A non-volatile memory device determines the bit-line location of a memory cell selected for memory operation relative to a nearest source line, generates a modified bit-line bias voltage based on the bit-line location and applies the modified bit-line bias voltage to the selected memory cell. In some embodiments, the memory cell is selected to be programmed. In this manner, the non-volatile memory device compensates for source line resistance at the memory cells.
