Abstract
Technology is described that supports reduced program disturb of nonvolatile memory. A three/two dimensional NAND array includes a plurality of pages, which are divided into a plurality of page groups. Access is allowed to memory cells within a first page group of a plurality of page groups in an erase block of the three dimensional NAND array, while access is minimized to memory cells within a second page group of the plurality of page groups in the erase block of the three/two dimensional NAND array. Pages in the same page group are physically nonadjacent with each other in the three/two dimensional NAND array.
