    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations comprising performing a write operation to program first data to a first set of memory cells addressable by a first wordline of a first plurality of wordlines of a block of the memory device; performing a read operation on a second wordline of the plurality of wordlines, wherein the second wordline is adjacent to the first wordline; determining a number of bits programmed in a first logical level in the second wordline; and responsive to determining that the number of bits programmed in the first logical level fails to satisfy a threshold criterion, performing a write operation on the second wordline to program second data.

    摘要: A modular Error Correction Code (ECC) scheme in a multi-channel IO link of an integrated circuit device is provided. The integrated circuit device may include core logic circuitry that may be configured after manufacturing. To accommodate the resulting variation, the modular ECC scheme may allow for partitioning a parity check matrix associated with the configuration of the core logic and peripheries coupled to the core logic. The parity check matrix is partitioned into smaller block matrices that is programmable. Multiple ECC modules corresponding to the block matrices are used to provide error detection and correction in the multi-channel IO link. The modular ECC scheme combined with programmable matrices (configurability) enables multi-channel IO link to be flexible to form different IO topologies.

    摘要: As part of the erase operation for a memory block, one or more post-erase tests can be incorporated into the erase operation to see whether the block has grown any defects. After erasing a block and verifying the erase, the post-erase tests can be performed on the block. As these test involve biasing the block and performing a sensing operation, these post erase tests come with a time penalty. To reduce the associated time penalty and improve memory performance while incorporating the defect tests into the erase process, when biasing the memory array for the post-erase defect tests different ramp rates can be used. In particular, faster ramp rates for bias levels, such those applied to the word lines of the block, are used for the post-erase tests than are used for the same bias level when performing the standard read, program verify, or read verify operations.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for topology-based retirement in a memory system are described. In some examples, a memory system or memory device may be configured to evaluate error conditions relative to a physical or electrical organization of a memory array, which may support inferring the presence or absence of defects in one or more structures of a memory device. For example, based on various evaluations of detected errors, a memory system or a memory device may be able to infer a presence of a short-circuit, an open circuit, a dielectric breakdown, or other defects of a memory array that may be related to wear or degradation over time, and retire a portion of a memory array based on such an inference.
