Patent attributes
The various embodiments described herein include systems, methods and/or devices used to package non-volatile memory. In one aspect, the method includes: (1) selecting, from a set of non-volatile memory die, a plurality of non-volatile memory die on which one or more tests have been deferred until after packaging, the selecting in accordance with wafer positions of the plurality of non-volatile memory die and statistical die performance information corresponding to the wafer positions; and (2) packaging the selected plurality of non-volatile memory die. In some embodiments, after said packaging, the method further includes performing a set of tests on the plurality of non-volatile memory die to identify respective units of memory within the plurality of non-volatile memory die that meet predefined validity criteria, wherein the set of tests performed include at least one of the deferred one or more tests.
