- Similarly, in the factory test period, the Tco compensate parameter for read voltage and the Tco compensate parameter for program verify voltage of a wordline under different temperatures are tested by the abovementioned way, which is not illustrated.
- Which area is a wordline located may be determined by a determining procedure when the NAND flash memory is powered on. For example, in the determining procedure, a comparison is performed between the wordline and corresponding scope of the zone. After comparison, the area in which the wordline is located it is determined.
- Furthermore, the temperature coefficient compensate may be enabled or disabled. A zone enable parameter may be stored in power-on read blocks 10 of the NAND flash memory.
