Abstract
According to the method of operating a memory device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, bad block information (integrated bad block information) for a plurality of memory chips in an environment using a plurality of memory chips (flash memory chips) Discloses a memory device and a method of operating the memory device that can quickly and accurately recover and efficiently manage the memory device.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
A flash memory having a plurality of flash memory chips basically supports a memory operation of a read operation, a write operation, and an erase operation. The write operation and the read operation are executed in page units in the flash memory chip, and the erase operation is executed in block units in which pages are assembled.
However, in general, a flash memory chip has a bad block in which read, write, and erase operations are not normally performed due to various factors.
Accordingly, in a flash memory based storage device employing a flash memory, a bad block list for bad blocks in each flash memory chip of the flash memory is managed to prevent (prevent) a request for a memory operation for a bad block, .
Hereinafter, an existing method of managing bad block information associated with a bad block list will be briefly described.
Conventionally, in a flash memory-based storage device, bad block information is generated for a plurality of flash memory chips by searching for a bad block for all blocks in a plurality of flash memory chips provided in the flash memory, In a flash memory chip of one of a plurality of flash memory chips.
The flash memory based storage device reads bad block information from a single flash memory chip in which bad block information is recorded among a plurality of flash memory chips in a nonvolatile flash memory, Into a bad block list of a form that can be easily utilized and stored in a volatile storage area.
Thus, in the flash memory-based storage device, when the control software requests the flash memory to utilize the bad block list stored in the volatile storage area, a memory operation for the bad block of the flash memory is requested from the control software Can be blocked.
However, in the conventional method of managing the bad block information as described above, since one bad block information is recorded in only one flash memory chip among a plurality of flash memory chips, if the flash memory chip storing the bad block information is replaced If bad block information is lost due to damage or the like, bad block information must be generated by searching for a bad block for all blocks in a plurality of flash memory chips from the beginning.
In this way, it is not only a long time-consuming task to regenerate the bad block information, but also it is difficult to search the bad block accurately for the used flash memory chip. do.
As a result, according to the conventional method of managing bad block information, it may be difficult to maintain the bad block list as accurate and up-to-date information at all times.
Accordingly, the present invention proposes a method for quickly and accurately restoring and efficiently managing bad block information for a plurality of flash memory chips, and solves the above-described problems.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to quickly and accurately recover bad block information for a plurality of memory chips in an environment using a plurality of memory chips (flash memory chips) And a method of operating the memory device.

Preferably, at least one block for recording integrated bad block information is designated as an integrated bad block information recording area in each of the plurality of memory chips, The integrated bad block information can be searched in the bad block information recording area.
Preferably, when the chip bad block information is not recorded in the plurality of memory chips, or when a specific memory chip in which a further bad block is searched is identified, Wherein the control unit controls the chip bad block information recording unit to record new chip bad block information in the specific memory chip and if the new chip bad block information is recorded in the specific memory chip, The information searching unit can be controlled.
Preferably, when the search result integrated bad block information is not confirmed, the control unit configures new integrated bad block information using chip bad block information recorded in each of the plurality of memory chips, Chip, and when the search result integrated bad block information is confirmed, the identified integrated bad block information may be updated using the new chip bad block information of the specific memory chip.
Preferably, when no chip bad block information is recorded in the specific memory chip, the specific memory chip is a newly replaced memory chip instead of the previous memory chip, or chip bad block information of the specific memory chip is recorded This can happen if a block is added as a bad block.
Preferably, if the search result integrated bad block information is not confirmed, integrated bad block information is recorded in the previous memory chip, or a block in which the integrated bad block information is recorded is added as a bad block Lt; / RTI >
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a memory device, comprising: a chip bad block information recording step of recording chip bad block information for a bad block among blocks in a memory chip for each of a plurality of memory chips; An information searching step of searching, in the plurality of memory chips, integrated bad block information for bad blocks among all blocks in the plurality of memory chips; And generating new integrated bad block information using chip bad block information recorded in each of the plurality of memory chips if the search result integrated bad block information is not confirmed, And an integrated bad block information recording step of recording information.
Preferably, when chip bad block information is not recorded in the plurality of memory chips or a specific memory chip in which a further bad block is found is identified, new chip bad block information for the bad block in the specific memory chip To the specific memory chip; And searching for the integrated bad block information in the plurality of memory chips when the new chip bad block information is recorded in the specific memory chip.
Preferably, when the search result integration bad block information is not confirmed, new integrated bad block information is formed using the chip bad block information recorded in each of the plurality of memory chips and is recorded in the at least one memory chip And updating the searched integrated bad block information using the new chip bad block information of the specific memory chip when the search result integrated bad block information is confirmed.
Preferably, when no chip bad block information is recorded in the specific memory chip, the specific memory chip is a newly replaced memory chip instead of the previous memory chip, or chip bad block information of the specific memory chip is recorded And the integrated bad block information is recorded in the previous memory chip if the search result integrated bad block information is not confirmed or if the integrated bad block information is recorded in the previous memory chip This can happen if a block is added as a bad block.
Thus, according to the memory device and the operation method of the memory device of the present invention, bad block information for a plurality of memory chips can be quickly and accurately recovered and efficiently managed in an environment using a plurality of memory chips (flash memory chips) .
