    摘要: An erase process for a 3D stacked memory device allows a portion of a block of memory cells to be erased. In one approach, in a U-shaped NAND string configuration, memory cells in the drain- or source-side columns are erased. In another approach, such as in a U-shaped or a straight NAND string configuration, memory cells in a portion of a column of memory cells are erased, and a dummy memory cell is provided between the erased and non-erased memory cells. A dummy memory cell can be on either side (e.g., above and below) of an erase memory cell, or on either side of a non-erased memory cell. A dummy memory cell is ineligible to store user data, but prevents a downshift in the threshold voltage of an erased memory cell from changing the threshold voltage of a non-erased memory cell, due to capacitive coupling.

    摘要: Non-volatile storage devices and techniques for operating non-volatile storage are described herein. One embodiment includes accessing “n” pages of data to be programmed into a group of non-volatile storage elements. The “n” pages are mapped to a data state for each of the non-volatile storage elements based on a coding scheme that evenly distributes read errors across the “n” pages of data. Each of the non-volatile storage elements in the group are programmed to a threshold voltage range based on the data states to which the plurality of pages have been mapped. The programming may include programming the “n” pages simultaneously. In one embodiment, mapping the plurality of pages is based on a coding scheme that distributes a significant failure mode (for example, program disturb errors) to a first of the pages and a significant failure mode (for example, data retention errors) to a second of the pages.

    摘要: Data verification in a memory device using a portion of a data retention margin is provided. A bit count is read from the region to determine whether errors will result in the memory. A read in one or more retention margin portions is performed after the normal program verify sequence and if the number of bits in these regions is more than a pre-set the memory will fail verify status. A method of verifying data in a memory device includes the steps of: defining an retention margin between adjacent data thresholds; programming the memory device with data; determining whether bits are present in the data retention margin; and if the number of bits in the retention margin exceeds a threshold, generating an error.

    摘要: Memory die are provided with programmable chip enable circuitry to allow particular memory die to be disabled after packaging and/or programmable chip address circuitry to allow particular memory die to be readdressed after being packaged. In a multi-chip memory package, a memory die that fails package-level testing can be disabled and isolated from the memory package by a programmable circuit that overrides the master chip enable signal received from the controller or host device. To provide a continuous address range, one or more of the non-defective memory die can be re-addressed using another programmable circuit that replaces the unique chip address provided by the pad bonding. Memory chips can also be also be readdressed after packaging independently of detecting a failed memory die.
