Abstract

See full text

Memory hole diameter in a three dimensional memory array may be calculated from characteristics that are observed during programming. Suitable operating parameters may be selected for operating a block based on memory hole diameters. Hot counts of blocks may be adjusted according to memory hole size so that blocks that are expected to fail earlier because of small memory holes are more lightly used than blocks with larger memory holes.
