Techniques are used to reduce read disturb on memory cells that are neighbors to selected memory cells. For example, on a NAND string, the memory cells that are next to the selected memory cell presently being read may benefit. In one embodiment, when reading memory cells on a selected word line WLn, Vread+Delta is applied to WLn+2 and WLn−2. Applying Vread+Delta to the second neighbor word line may reduce read disturb to memory cells on the neighbor word line WLn+1."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Reducing neighbor read disturb","description":"Methods and devices for sensing non-volatile storage devices in a way that reduces read disturb are disclosed.
