Abstract

A method includes identifying a target plane in respective planes of a memory die in a non-volatile memory array and identifying, from blocks of non-volatile memory cells coupled to a common bit line in the target plane, at least one target block in the target plane. The method further includes performing an operation to disable at least one gate associated with the at least one target block to prevent access to the blocks of non-volatile memory cells coupled to the common bit line in the target plane.
