    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array includes memory cells grouped into one or more address ranges. Control logic is coupled to the memory array and configured to detect one or more errors associated with one or more stored data items corresponding to a first address range of one or more address ranges. The control logic can determine that a number of the one or more stored data items exceeds a number of redundant memory locations for the first address space. Control logic can remap an association of a first memory address of at least one of the stored data items from a first address within the first address space to a second address in a second address range, where the second address range includes one or more available redundant memory locations.

    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device executes a programming operation to program the set of memory blocks of the set of memory planes to a set of a programming levels. In response to determining at least a portion of a first memory block passed a program verify operation associated with a last programming level of the set of programming levels, the control logic executes a first program sub-operation to terminate the programming operation with respect to a first subset of one or more memory planes of the set of memory planes that passed the program verify operation associated with the last programming level and identify a second subset of one or more memory planes that failed the program verify operation associated with the last programming level. The control logic executes a second program sub-operation to apply a trim set to the second subset of one or more memory planes that failed the program verify operation of the last programming level.

  • Patent number: 12007860
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums for using a non-defective portion of a block of memory on which there is a defect on a different portion. Rather than disable the entire block, the system may disable only a portion of the block (e.g., a first deck of the block) and salvage a different portion of the block (e.g., a second deck of the block).

  • Patent number: 11456043
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system receives a request to erase a data block of a memory device, determines a number of program/erase cycles performed on the data block, and performs an erase operation to erase the data block. The processing device further determines that the number of program/erase cycles performed on the data block satisfies a scan threshold condition and performs a first threshold voltage integrity scan on the data block to determine a first error rate associated with a current threshold voltage of at least one select gate device of the data block. Responsive to the first error rate associated with the current threshold voltage of the at least one select gate device satisfying an error threshold criterion, the processing device performs a touch up operation on the at least one select gate device to adjust the current threshold voltage to the target threshold voltage.
