Abrégé

Methods, systems, and devices for evaluation of memory device health monitoring logic are described. A memory device may include health monitoring logic that is operable to be enabled in a configuration that corresponds to an output, such as an expected output, regardless of a degradation level of the memory device. Such a configuration may be enabled in a mode, such as a test mode, during which the memory device, or a host device coupled with the memory device, or some combination, may evaluate a difference between the output and an actual output of the health monitoring logic. The actual output being the same as the output may provide an indication that at least a portion of the health monitoring logic is functioning properly, and the actual output being different than the output may provide an indication that at least a portion of the health monitoring logic is not functioning properly.

Abrégé

A memory system configured to dynamically adjust the amount of redundant information stored in memory cells of a wordline on an integrated circuit die based on a bit error rate. For example, in response to a determination that a bit error rate of the wordline is above a threshold, the memory system can store first data items as independent first codewords of an error correction code technique into a first portion of the memory cells of the wordline, generate second data items as redundant information from the first codewords, and store the second data items in a second portion of the memory cells of the wordline. If the bit error rate is below the threshold, third data items can be stored as independent second codewords of the same length as the first codewords in the memory cells of the wordline.

Abrégé

Apparatuses and techniques for implementing an asymmetric read-write sequence for interconnected dies are described. The asymmetric read-write sequence refers to an asymmetric die-access sequence for read versus write operations. The “asymmetric” term refers to a difference in an order in which data is written to or read from interface and linked dies of the interconnected die architecture. The orders for the read and write operations can be chosen such that a delay associated with transferring data between the interconnected dies occurs as data passes between the interface die and a memory controller. With asymmetric read-write burst sequences, overall timing of the read and write operations of a memory device may be impacted less, if at all, by a timing delay associated with the interconnected die architecture.

Abrégé

This disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to dynamically compute a select gate (SG) scan threshold. The controller accesses a default cadence criterion associated with an individual portion of a set of memory components and computes a new cadence criterion for the individual portion of the set of memory components based on the default cadence criterion. The controller determines that current cadence information for the individual portion of the set of memory components satisfies the new cadence criterion.

Abrégé

Methods, systems, and devices for an enhanced sense amplifier architecture are described. An architecture of p-type transistors in a sense amplifier may be modified to support greater accuracy of voltage sensing operations in a memory system. A shape and/or a positioning of one or more channel portions of a p-type transistor, relative to one or more gate portions of the p-type transistor, may increase an effective channel length of the p-type transistor, which may support an increased accuracy of cell voltage sensing. In some examples, a channel portion of the p-type transistor may have a non-rectangular shape to support a relatively longer electrical path between a source and a drain of the p-type transistor. In some examples, a shape of a gate portion of the p-type transistor may have a non-rectangular shape to support a relatively longer path between the source and the drain.

Abrégé

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for initiating checkpoint operations in a memory system are described. A memory system may be configured to initiate a checkpoint operation prior to the change log reaching capacity, for example, by initiating the checkpoint procedure based on whether a quantity of metadata tables to be updated during the checkpoint operation satisfies a threshold. For example, the memory system may update logical-to-physical (L2P) address mappings in volatile memory of the memory system, where each L2P address mapping may correspond to a respective metadata table. The memory system may determine whether to update the respective metadata tables based on a quantity of metadata tables associated with the updated L2P address mappings satisfying a first threshold or based on a quantity of updated L2P address mappings satisfying a second threshold. If either the first or second thresholds are satisfied, the memory system may initiate the checkpoint procedure.

Abrégé

Methods, systems, and devices for indication for exiting refresh of an invalid memory block are described. A memory system may store a refresh flag that indicates, during execution of a refresh operation, whether a source memory block of the refresh operation is valid. The refresh operation may be performed in portions, and the memory system may check the refresh flag during the refresh operation to determine whether to continue performing remaining portions of the refresh operation. If a controller of the memory system, or a host system, identifies that a memory block is invalid, the controller of the memory system or the host system may clear the refresh flag for the memory block. If the memory system identifies that the refresh flag is cleared during the refresh operation, the memory system may abort the refresh operation and may refrain from performing remaining portion(s) of the refresh operation.

Abrégé

A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating first tiers and second tiers comprising laterally-spaced memory-block regions having horizontally-elongated trenches there-between. Two of the first tiers have different vertical thicknesses relative one another. Channel-material strings of memory cells extend through the first tiers and the second tiers. Through the horizontally-elongated trenches, first conductive material is formed in void space in the two first tiers. The first conductive material fills the first tier of the two first tiers that has a smaller of the different vertical thicknesses in individual of the memory-block regions. The first conductive material less-than-fills the first tier of the two first tiers that has a larger of the different vertical thicknesses in the individual memory-block regions. Through the horizontally-elongated trenches, the first conductive material is isotropically etched from the first tier having the larger vertical thickness in the individual memory-block regions to leave the first conductive material in the first tier having the smaller vertical thickness in the individual memory-block regions. After the isotropically etching of the first conductive material and through the horizontally-elongated trenches, second conductive material is formed in the first tier having the larger vertical thickness in the individual memory-block regions. Other embodiments, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.
