GENERATING VIRTUAL BLOCKS USING PARTIAL GOOD BLOCKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256444 titled 'GENERATING VIRTUAL BLOCKS USING PARTIAL GOOD BLOCKS
The present disclosure involves configuring a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to generate virtual or superblocks using multiple partial good blocks. The controller identifies a first partial good block (PGB) in a set of memory components, with a subset of word line groups (WGRs) categorized as non-defective. It then searches for a second PGB with a similar subset of non-defective WGRs, computes the total quantity of WGRs, and combines the first and second PGBs to form an individual virtual block.
- System component configured to generate virtual or superblocks using multiple partial good blocks
- Identification of non-defective subsets of word line groups in memory components
- Combination of partial good blocks to form individual virtual blocks

Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to generate virtual or superblocks using multiple partial good blocks. the controller identifies a first partial good block (pgb) in a set of memory components, the first pgb having first subset of word line groups (wgrs) that are categorized as being non-defective. the controller searches for a second pgb in the set of memory components having a second subset of wgrs that are categorized as being non-defective. the controller computes a total quantity of wgrs based on the first quantity of wgrs in the first subset of wgrs and a second quantity of wgrs in the second subset of wgrs and, in response, combines the first pgb and the second pgb to form an individual virtual block.
