Description

Method, device, storage medium and storage equipment for improving reliability of flash memory data
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of data storage technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a storage medium, and a storage device for improving data reliability of a flash memory.
Background
The NAND flash memory, as a mainstream storage medium at present, has the advantages of high read-write speed, high storage capacity, small power consumption, and the like. Two main device structure types of 3D-NAND are Floating Gate (Floating Gate) and Charge Trap (Charge Trap) at present. The memory device is comprised of a conductive channel, a tunneling layer, a memory layer, a blocking layer, and a gate word line. The conductive channel is a circulation path for conducting electrons or holes, and the upper part and the lower part of the conductive channel are respectively communicated with a Drain end (Drain) and a Source end (Source) of the storage device; the tunneling layer and the blocking layer play a role in blocking the charges of the storage layer and prevent the charges of the storage layer from escaping towards the conducting channel or the grid electrode; and the storage layer is a carrier for NAND stored information, and represents different stored information by storing the amount of charges. The storage layers corresponding to each layer of word lines in the floating gate structure are mutually independent, and the storage layers between different word line layers in the charge trap structure are communicated. For the charge trap structure, shallow level traps are also present while deep level traps are present in the storage layer, and the stored charges trapped by the shallow level traps are easy to break away and bound to escape, and the escaped charges can drift to adjacent word lines through the connected storage layer. The result of the drift is that the stored information of this layer is lost and therefore the data Retention capability (retentivity) of the charge well structure is relatively poor. The flash memory represents different memory states according to the amount of the stored charge of the memory layer, and fig. 1 is a distribution diagram of threshold voltages of the flash memory for unit memory, two-bit memory and three-bit memory, as shown in fig. 1, only two memory states exist for unit memory (SLC: Single-Level Cell): an erased state (E) and a programmed state (P), the programmed state having a higher number of electrons in the memory layer than in the erased state; and two-bit memory (MLC: Multi-Level Cell) has 1 erased state (E) and 3 programmed states (P1, P2, P3), and the order of arrangement of electrons of the memory layer is P3> P2> P1> E; three-bit memory (TLC: Trinary-Level Cell) has 1 erased state (E) and 7 programmed states (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7), and the order of how many electrons are arranged in the memory layer is P7> P6> P5> P4> P3> P2> P1> E. The drift speed of the charge of the storage layer of the charge trap structure along the direction of the storage layer is greatly related to the storage state of an adjacent word line. Taking the three-bit storage mode as an example, the worst case is that the current storage layer is the highest state P7 state. And the upper and lower adjacent storage layers are in the lowest state E state, and because the adjacent storage layers have the largest concentration difference of stored charges and the largest potential difference of stored charges under the condition, the stored charges have the most serious drift. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the initial threshold voltage distribution of the NAND write TLC and the threshold voltage distribution after a period of data retention, as shown in fig. 2, the solid line is the initial threshold voltage distribution of the NAND write TLC, the dotted line is the threshold voltage distribution after a period of data retention, the shift of the P7 threshold voltage distribution to the low state is the most severe in the case that the lowest state E is collocated near the highest state P7, and the P7 state and the P6 state overlap after the shift, resulting in more failed bits.
The current flash memory writing method is as follows: before data writing, data erasing is carried out by taking a Block (Block) as a unit, the Block erasing adopts Step erasing operation (ISPE), each erasing Pulse is sent out and then is subjected to erasing verification, the threshold voltage of a verification storage unit is lower than the erasing verification voltage, the memory unit is successfully erased, and the erasing action is finished if all the memory units of the Block are successfully erased; after the erase is completed, the data is written in by using an Incremental Step Pulse Program (ISPP), and after the programming Pulse voltage operation, a Program verification operation is performed on the memory cell, and if the threshold voltage of the memory cell exceeds the Program verification voltage, the programming of the memory cell is completed. FIG. 3 is a distribution diagram of the read voltage and program verify voltage of TLC, as shown in FIG. 3, the read voltage of TLC is R1 to R7, the program verify voltage is V1 to V7, and the erase verify voltage is VE in FIG. 3.
It can be seen that in the conventional flash memory data random writing mode, the storage state of each memory cell before the flash memory data is erased is random, and the low-storage-state cell is lower than the erase verification voltage at the fastest speed when the low-storage-state cell is erased, because a block erase mode is adopted, the threshold voltage of the memory cell which is successfully erased preferentially can be further reduced in the subsequent erase process, as shown in fig. 3, the threshold voltage distribution of the erase state E is very wide, that is, there are many memory cells with extremely low threshold voltages. The existing TLC programs 7 verification voltages V1-V7 define threshold voltage distributions of P1-P7, even if an erase state with an extremely low threshold voltage still exists in an erase state at the end of data programming, the extremely low threshold voltage erase state is matched with a high storage state of an adjacent layer, so that the retention time of data is seriously reduced, and the reliability of the data is influenced.

Example one
FIG. 4 is a flow chart that schematically illustrates a method for improving data reliability in a flash memory, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the method for improving the reliability of flash memory data according to the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
s11, erasing the target storage unit of the data to be written;
s12, when data are written into the erased target storage unit, if the current storage state to be written is the lowest state, the target storage unit is programmed in the lowest state by adopting a preset optimized programming verification voltage, and the optimized programming verification voltage is lower than the erasing verification voltage corresponding to the erasing operation.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a three-bit memory (TLC) is taken as an example to illustrate, where the TLC flash has 1 erased state (E) and 7 programmed states (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, and P7), and the order of arrangement of electrons in the memory layer is P7> P6> P5> P4> P3> P2> P1> E, that is, P7 is the highest state, and E is the lowest state.
Taking NAND TLC distribution as an example, the conventional writing method has 7 program verify voltages V1 to V7, and the distribution of P1 to P7 is defined by using 7 program verify voltages V1 to V7. In the embodiment of the present invention, 1 optimized program verify voltage V0 is added on the basis of the existing 7 program verify voltages, and V0 is the program verify voltage for the lowest state distribution in the programming process, as shown in fig. 5, the upper part is the threshold voltage distribution written by the existing data, and the lower part is the threshold voltage distribution after the data is written in the present invention, the threshold voltage distribution of the lowest state is more convergent, and there are no memory cells with extremely low threshold voltages. Therefore, the problem that the data retention time is influenced by the matching of the ultra-low threshold voltage storage unit and the adjacent layer high storage state is solved.
Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the verification voltage V0 programming is performed only on the memory cell to be written with the data in the lowest state, and the verification voltage V0 programming is not required for all the memory cells to be written with the data, which not only improves the retentivity of the data, but also reduces the verification time of all the verifications.
According to the method for improving the data reliability of the flash memory, after the target storage unit of the data to be written is subjected to erasing operation, the storage unit with the lowest state of the written data is programmed by adopting the preset optimized programming verification voltage, so that the E state has no extremely low threshold voltage after the data is written, the problem that the data Retention time is influenced by the collocation of the storage unit with the extremely low threshold voltage and the high storage state of the adjacent layer is solved, and the Retention characteristic of the data is improved.
The data writing method of the NAND flash memory of the present invention is explained in detail by a specific example.
Receiving a data writing request of a host;
the storage system receives data and encodes the data;
performing block erasing on the memory unit to which the data is written;
writing to each of the memory states E, P1-P7 is programmed using the corresponding program verify voltages V0-V7;
the programming of the memory cell is terminated when the threshold voltage of the memory state exceeds the corresponding program verify voltage.
Example two
Fig. 6 schematically shows a flow chart of a method for improving data reliability of a flash memory according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, the method for improving the reliability of flash data according to the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
s21, erasing the target storage unit of the data to be written;
s22, when data are written into the erased target storage unit, if the current storage state to be written is the lowest state, the storage state of the storage unit adjacent to the target storage unit is obtained;
and S23, when the storage state of the storage unit adjacent to the target storage unit is higher than the preset storage state threshold value, performing minimum state programming on the target storage unit by adopting the preset optimized programming verification voltage.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the data retention time is seriously reduced when the erase state with the extremely low threshold voltage is collocated with the high storage state of the adjacent layer, the data retention capability of the flash memory can be improved by obtaining the storage state of the memory cell adjacent to the target memory cell in advance, and if the storage state of the memory cell adjacent to the target memory cell is higher than the preset storage state threshold, for example, when the storage state of the adjacent memory cell is P7, performing the programming of the lowest state, that is, the E state, on the target memory cell by using the preset optimized program verification voltage.
In the embodiment of the invention, the storage state of each storage unit is recorded by pre-configuring the storage state list. The storage state list is used for recording the storage state of the storage unit which completes the data writing latest.
Further, the obtaining of the storage state of the storage unit adjacent to the target storage unit in step S22 is specifically implemented as follows: and searching the storage state list to acquire the storage state of the storage unit adjacent to the target storage unit.
Further, the method further comprises the steps of: and updating the storage state list after finishing the data writing of the target storage unit so as to record the storage state of the target storage unit to the storage state list.
It should be noted that the method for improving the reliability of flash data provided by the present invention is not limited to the TLC minimum state programming, and SLC, MLC, QLC and even PLC also belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

in the invention, programming verification is also carried out on the memory state which is the lowest state, so that the threshold voltage distribution of the lowest state is improved; a memory cell with too low threshold voltage does not exist in the lowest state, so that the data retention capacity of the flash memory is improved;
the lowest state program verify voltage V0 is lower than the erase verify voltage VE, and the maximum value in the lowest state threshold voltage distribution written based on the program verify voltage V0 should not exceed the erase verify voltage VE in order to guarantee reliability;
the patent is not limited to the programming of TLC minimum state, and SLC, MLC, QLC and even PLC are in the protection scope of the patent.
