| 主权项 | 1. A method for processing a target memory, the method comprising: checking the target memory subsequent to an erase operation directed to the target memory; and replacing the target memory with a spare memory in case a defect is detected, wherein the target memory comprises a target sector and wherein the spare memory comprises a spare sector, wherein each sector comprises several pages; if a spare page of the spare sector was already in use for the target sector conducting: replacing the target sector with the spare sector;erasing the spare sector; andmapping the spare sector to be used instead of the target sector; if a spare page of the spare sector was not in use for the target sector conducting: erasing the target sector;checking the target sector;replacing the target sector with the spare sector and mapping the spare sector to be used instead of the target sector in case a defect is detected; andmapping the spare sector to be used instead of the target sector. | ||
