20080244162 | METHOD FOR READING NON-VOLATILE STORAGE USING PRE-CONDITIONING WAVEFORMS AND MODIFIED RELIABILITY METRICS - Data stored in non-volatile storage is read using sense operations and associated pre-conditioning waveforms. The pre-conditioning waveform provides a short term history for a non-volatile element which is analogous to the conditions experienced during programming when a programming pulse is applied prior to a verify operation. The pre-conditioning waveform can cause electrons to enter and exit trap sites, for instance, so that the accuracy of a probabilistic decoding process is improved. In one approach, multiple read operations are performed, some with pre-conditioning waveforms and some without. Pre-conditioning waveforms with different characteristics, such as amplitude, shape, duration and time before the associated read pulse, can also be used. For probabilistic decoding, initial reliability metrics can be developed based on multiple reads. Tables which store the reliability metrics can then be prepared for use in subsequent decoding. | 10-02-2008 |
