Modified Erase

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including receiving an indication to selectively erase first data stored on a first page of a first subset of a group of multi-level memory cells of the storage system, each multi-level memory cell comprising multiple pages and providing, in response the indication to selectively erase the first data, at least one soft erase pulse to the first page of memory cells associated with the first data to induce distribution overlap across different bit levels of the first page of the group of multi-level memory cell.
