Specific embodiment
Following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention carries out clear, complete Site preparation description, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on Embodiment in the present invention, it is obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts every other Embodiment shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Nand memory is made of multiple memory block Block, and each memory block Block is made of multiple pages of Page.Block It is the minimum unit of erasing operation, Page is the minimum unit of programming.Physically, each memory block Block includes more Wordline WL.
Referring to Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the section structure that word number of lines is 128 corresponding memory blocks;The memory block Block successively includes bottom selection grid (Bottom selective gate) BSG, a plurality of wordline WL, top selection from bottom to top Grid (Top selective gate) TSG and be generally arranged at a plurality of wordline WL fringe region, close to top selection grid TSG and The a plurality of dummy wordlines, dummy Dmy of bottom selection grid BSG;The memory block Block further includes multiple channel hole vertical with wordline WL (channel hole) CH and array common source (Array common source) ACS, in the embodiment of the present invention memory its He is not described in detail structure.
Due to manufacture craft, a plurality of dummy wordlines, dummy is additionally provided between a plurality of wordline WL in memory block shown in FIG. 1 Dmy can also be not provided with dummy wordlines, dummy Dmy between a plurality of wordline WL in other embodiments of the invention.
Since memory block Block shown in FIG. 1 includes 128 wordline, if wherein one or more wordline WL existing defects, When being detected before memory factory, entire memory block Block can be labeled as to bad block, and generated by the address of bad block Block bad block table, storage in memory, and work as the address that bad block in Block bad block table is read in system use process, thus It does not store data in bad block.
However, due to including a plurality of wordline in a memory block Block, it can not be normal in addition to several wordline of existing defects Use, other wordline WL is or normal, the storage unit in the corresponding Page of wordline WL can with normal storage data, because This, causes the larger waste of memory space in this way, and space loss is larger, also reduces the service life of nand memory.
For example, it is assumed that when the Page2 in Block X in nand memory wrong bit quantity occurs more than threshold value, then Entire Block is identified as bad block, and all Page are directly abandoned as bad block space on the Block X, and system makes The Block X is directly skipped in.In addition to Page2 can not be other than normal use on the actually Block X, other Page are just Normal, it all can be with normal use, this just brings very big space waste.
Moreover, as shown in table 1, with the development of nand memory technology, the wordline number of plies is more and more inside different product, The memory space of corresponding single memory block is increasing.
The memory space of single block inside 1 different product of table
Wherein, in table 1, existing product A, existing product B and existing product C represent some memory, only illustrate in table 1 Illustrate the wordline number of plies of existing memory and the storage size relationship of memory block, is not limited to some memory product.
Since the memory space of single memory block is increasing, then when there is bad block, caused by waste, get over Come more serious.
Based on this, a kind of nand memory provided herein, as shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a kind of NAND provided by the invention Memory the schematic diagram of the section structure;Memory includes at least one memory block, and each memory block includes multiple word line groups (10 With 20) and at least one dummy wordlines, dummy Dmy;The memory further include: multiple sub- memory block (Sub-Block-0 and Sub- Block-1), wherein each memory block is divided into the identical sub- memory block of multiple storage sizes, and each son is deposited Storage block is provided with sub- MBA memory block address.
It is illustrated so that memory block includes 128 wordline as an example, as shown in Fig. 2, each memory block in the present embodiment In multiple sub- memory blocks be to be divided with the position of the word line group.Memory can generate more in the production process The continuous wordline of item, therefore according to the location of a plurality of wordline, a plurality of wordline in a memory block is divided into a son and deposits Block is stored up, while one corresponding sub- MBA memory block address is set to the sub- memory block.
When marking bad block, then using the sub- MBA memory block address as marking unit, with bad block of marking.And in physics knot On structure, if having been detected in memory and at least one invalid sub- memory block being marked, also as bad block, then by corresponding son All wordline in memory block are disposed as dummy wordlines, dummy, and as shown in Figure 2, sub- memory block Sub-Block-1 detects a certain word All wordline in sub- memory block Sub-Block-1 are then disposed as dummy wordlines, dummy by line WL existing defects, functionally with empty word Line is identical, to be no longer serve as storing data.
It should be noted that due to the definition for increasing sub- memory block, and need to distribute an address for each memory block, And the memory space of whole memory is constant, provides the address resolution table of sub- memory block therefore, it is necessary to corresponding.
Refer to table 2 and table 3, wherein table 2 is the flash memory address resolution table under default mode, and the default mode is will Memory block is divided into the mode before sub- memory block;Table 3 is the flash memory address resolution table under sub- memory block mode.The present invention is implemented With the memory space of memory it is 512Gb in example, there are 1950 memory blocks, includes carrying out for page 2304 in each memory block Explanation.
Since a memory block is divided into two sub- memory blocks, then the number of page included in every sub- memory block will be Half originally, therefore, the address of sub- memory block need more increases by one to be indicated, and the page in every sub- memory block Address reduce one and be indicated, and the global storage space invariance of memory, digit used are constant.
In two address resolution tables, every a line refers to that an address bit, CA are Byte (byte) address bits, and PA is Page (page) Address bit, BA are Block (memory block) address bit.
Wherein, in table 2, CA0-CA14 indicates memory a total of 215A byte;PA0-PA11 indicates each in memory The address for the page for including in memory block needs 12 to be characterized namely the quantity of the page in each memory block is greater than 2048; BA0-BA10, indicate memory in memory block address need 11 characterized namely memory in memory block quantity it is big In 1024.
In table 3, since a memory block (Block) is divided into two sub- memory blocks (Sub-Block), then sub- memory block Quantity become original double, the address of sub- memory block then needs 12 to be characterized, and in every sub- memory block page Number relative to halving originally, therefore it may only be necessary to which 11 are characterized;Therefore, page address position reduces 1, and block address bits increase 1。
From table 2 to table 3 as can be seen that reducing one from default mode page address position (PA), by original PA0-PA11, become For PA0-PA10;And corresponding block address bits (BA) increase by one, become BA0-BA11 from original BA0-BA10.And entirely In the resolution table of location, since the memory space of memory does not change, byte address position (CA) quantity is constant.
Flash memory address resolution table under 2 default mode of table
Flash memory address resolution table under the sub- memory block mode of table 3
After using the flash memory address resolution table under sub- memory block mode that address is arranged one by one for sub- memory block, in bad block mark It clocks, is marked using sub- MBA memory block address, thus using memory block sub- where other normal character lines as normal storage space Use, expand memory space, it is increasing to improve memory block, caused by waste of storage space the problem of.
It is identical that the memory block in nand memory provided in the embodiment of the present invention is divided into multiple storage sizes Sub- memory block, and every sub- memory block is provided with sub- MBA memory block address, therefore, when several wordline in nand memory exist When defect, that is, when detecting defect wordline, sub- memory block corresponding to defect wordline can be labeled as bad block, rather than will lacked It falls into the corresponding memory block monolith of wordline and is labeled as bad block, so as to deposit other sons in memory block corresponding to defect wordline Storage block is used to storing data and takes full advantage of to extend the available space of nand memory and do not occur defect in memory block The memory space of the corresponding sub- memory block of wordline, the problem of improving waste of storage space.
Based on nand memory described in above example, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of bad block labeling method, As shown in figure 3, Fig. 3 is the bad block labeling method flow diagram of nand memory;The bad block labeling method includes:
S101: the wordline in the nand memory is detected;
S102: in the case of detecting that a wordline is faulty word line, according to the corresponding relationship of the wordline and sub- memory block, Determine the corresponding sub- memory block of the wordline;
S103: the sub- memory block where marking the wordline is invalid sub- memory block.
Memory block is divided into multiple sub- memory blocks according to word line group by the memory provided in the present embodiment, is being detected Out before bad block, all normal character lines are regarded as can be with the wordline of normal storage data, by in the nand memory Wordline successively apply voltage, circuit detection is carried out, when detecting a certain wordline is faulty word line, according to where the wordline Word line group determine the sub- memory block belonging to it, at this point it is possible to which the sub- memory block where the wordline is labeled as invalid son Memory block namely bad block.
It should be noted that during detecting wordline, can according in the nand memory by bottom selection grid BSG is directed toward the direction of top selection grid TSG, successively detects to all wordline in the nand memory.
It is corresponding that the wordline in sub- memory block is carried out accordingly at genuine end after a certain sub- memory block is marked as bad block Operation, by its function division be dummy wordlines, dummy, without be re-used as normal wordline carry out using.
In addition, recording the address of sub- memory block invalid in the nand memory after marking all bad blocks, and generate Sub- memory block defect block addresses table.The process for generating sub- memory block defect block addresses table is not limited in the present embodiment, optionally, comprising: The address of sub- memory block where the wordline of label is saved in preset sub- memory block defect block addresses table;By the son Memory block defect block addresses table is cured in the storage array of the nand memory.In case follow-up system is read out after powering on, To be written and read.
It should be noted that due to the sub- memory block provided in the embodiment of the present invention be mainly used for bad block label and it is subsequent Therefore reading and writing data in the other problems for carrying out other operations to memory or occurring for wordline, does not need sub- storage When block function, it is also necessary to continue to use original storage block message.Therefore, it whether there is failure, mark in detection wordline in the present embodiment While remembering sub- memory block, it can also include the steps that marking memory block.Be specifically as follows: when detect a wordline be faulty word In the case of line, according to the corresponding relationship of the wordline and memory block, the corresponding memory block of the wordline is determined;Mark the wordline The memory block at place is invalid memory block.
Identical when marking with memory block is the address for recording memory block invalid in the nand memory, and is generated Memory block defect block addresses table.Specifically: the address of the memory block where the wordline of label is saved in preset memory block In defect block addresses table;The memory block defect block addresses table is cured in the storage array of the nand memory.When some is deposited Storage block is marked as invalid memory block, still detects to other wordline in the memory block, in order to complete the memory block In all memory blocks label.
It should be noted that in genuine detection process, if it is detected that a certain wordline breaks down, it needs to be determined that wordline The true cause of failure judges whether the reason influences to be located in same memory block rather than son where the faulty word line is deposited The function of other sub- memory blocks of block is stored up, if influencing, sub- memory blocks all in same memory block are marked as block;If no It influences, then only marks the sub- memory block where the faulty word line.
The embodiment of the present invention also provides a kind of nand memory access method, and the access method is applied to above example Described in nand memory, and based on the sub- memory block defect block addresses table being pre-stored in the nand memory storage array.
