Abstract

Multiple bits of data are programmed together to each cell of a segment of a word line while other segments of the same word line are unprogrammed. Subsequently, additional segments are similarly programmed. Data is read from a partially programmed word line (with a mix of programmed and unprogrammed segments) using a single reading scheme.
