Abstract

A storage system has a memory that is organized in wordlines. Each wordline has a number of strings. A controller in the storage system changes, in each of the wordlines, which of the strings is a last string programmed. Doing so can unmask a program disturb error when triple-level cells in the memory are used as pseudo-multi-level cells. By unmasking the program disturb error, the controller can detect and correct the error.
