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： 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： Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments can provide for comprehensive erase verification and defect detection in non-volatile semiconductor memory. In one embodiment, the results of erasing a group of storage elements is verified using a plurality of test conditions to better detect defective and/or insufficiently erased storage elements of the group. For example, the results of erasing a NAND string can be verified by testing charging of the string in a plurality of directions with the storage elements biased to turn on if in an erased state. If a string of storage elements passes a first test process or operation but fails a second test process or operation, the string can be determined to have failed the erase process and possibly be defective. By testing charging or conduction of the string in a plurality of directions, defects in any transistors of the string that are masked under one set of conditions may be exposed under a second set of bias conditions. For example, a string may pass an erase verification operation but then be read as including one or more programmed storage elements. Such a string can be defective and mapped out of the memory device.
