Abstract: A memory device to use added known data as part of data written to memory cells with redundant data generated according to an error correction code (ECC). The code rate of the ECC may limit its capability to recover from excessive errors in the stored data. To reduce the errors, the added data retrieved from the memory cells can be corrected without using the ECC. Subsequently, remaining errors can be corrected via the ECC. Optionally, the added data can be configured to be the same as the data represented by an erased state of a subset of the memory cells such that when the subset is used to store the added data, the subset remains in the erased state to reduce wearing. Different subsets can be used to store added data for different write operations to distribute the benefit of reduced wearing.

Abstract: A system can include a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including receiving data to be stored on the memory device, storing a first copy of the data in a first set of memory cells of the memory device, and storing a second copy of the data in a second set of memory cells of the memory device. The operations can also include reading the first copy of the data and determining whether a threshold voltage of a cell in the first set of memory cells is within an overlapping range of voltage distributions, and reading the second copy of the data and determining whether the threshold voltage of a cell in the second set of memory cells is within an overlapping range of voltage distributions. They can also include using the second copy of the data.

Abstract: A method includes writing received data sequentially to a particular location of a cyclic buffer of a memory device according to a first set of threshold voltage distributions. The method further includes performing a touch up operation on the particular location by adjusting the first set of threshold voltage distributions of the data to a second set of threshold voltage distributions in response to a determination that a trigger event has occurred. The second set of threshold voltage distributions can have a larger read window between adjacent threshold voltage distributions of the second set than that of the first set of threshold voltage distributions.

Abstract: Control logic in a memory device receives a request to read data from a memory array of a memory device, the request comprising an indication of a segment of the memory array where the data is stored, and determines whether a write temperature associated with the data is stored in a flag byte corresponding to the segment of the memory array. Responsive to determining that the write temperature associated with the data is stored in the flag byte, the control logic determines a cross-temperature for the data based on the write temperature and a read temperature at a time when the request to read the data is received, determines a program/erase cycle count associated with the segment of the memory array, and determines, based on the cross-temperature and the program/erase cycle count, whether to perform a corrective action to calibrate a read voltage level to be applied to the memory array to read the data from the segment.

Abstract: A device includes an array of memory cells having a word line coupled to at least a subset of the array, a queue, and control logic. The control logic: detects a first read command to read first data from a first page of the subset; accesses a second read command in the queue, the second read command to read second data from a second page of the subset; causes a voltage applied to the word line to ramp up to an initial value; causes the voltage to move to a target value; directs a page buffer to sense the first data from a first bit line coupled to the first page of the subset; directs the page buffer to sense the second data from a second bit line coupled to the second page of the subset; and causes the word line to be discharged.

Abstract: A method includes performing a copyback operation comprising transferring, using an internal processing device, user data and header data corresponding to the user data from a first block of memory in a memory device to a register in the memory device, decoupling the user data from the header data, performing an error correction code (ECC) operation on updated header data using an external processing device, transferring, via the external processing device, the updated header data to the register, and transferring the user data and the updated header data from the register to a second block of memory in the memory device.

Abstract: A transistor comprises a lower contact structure, a channel structure, a dielectric fill structure, and an upper contact structure. The lower contact structure comprises a first oxide semiconductive material. The channel structure contacts the lower contact structure and comprises a second oxide semiconductive material having a smaller atomic concentration of one or more metals than the first oxide semiconductive material. The dielectric fill structure contacts an inner side surface of the channel structure and has a recessed upper surface relative to the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a third oxide semiconductive material having a greater atomic concentration of the one or more metals than the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a first portion contacting the upper surface of the dielectric fill structure and the inner side surface of the channel structure, and a second portion contacting the upper surface of the channel structure.

Abstract: Instructions can be executed to determine a quantity of logical units that are part of a memory device. The instructions can be executed to operate the logical units with a programming time sufficient to provide a required throughput for storage of time based telemetric sensor data received from a host. The instructions can be executed to operate the logical units with a trim that correspond to the programming time.
