Abstract

A method for operating bits of memory cells in a memory array, the method including applying operating pulses to bits of a sample of memory cells, determining a response of at least one of an electrical, physical and mechanical property (e.g., threshold voltage) of the bits to the operating pulses, and applying at least one further operating pulse to the rest of the array, the at least one further operating pulse being a function of the response.
