    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) memory device includes a 3D NAND memory array, an on-die static random-access memory (SRAM), and peripheral circuits formed on the same chip with the on-die SRAM. The peripheral circuits include a page buffer coupled to the on-die SRAM and a controller coupled to the on-die SRAM and the page buffer. The controller may be configured to load program data into the page buffer and cache the program data into the on-die SRAM as a backup copy of the program data. In response to a status of programming the program data from the page buffer into the 3D NAND memory array being failed, the controller may be further configured to transmit the backup copy of the program data in the on-die SRAM to the page buffer, and program the backup copy of the program data in the page buffer into the 3D NAND memory array.
