主权项

1. A method, comprising:
configuring a non-volatile memory unit in an unpackaged form including at least one memory die; temporarily connecting the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit directly to a memory test system for data communication between the memory test system and the memory unit; testing the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit through the data connection using the memory test system; subsequent to testing the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit, loading a predetermined set of content from the memory test system into the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit using the data communication connection to produce a pre-programmed memory unit; packaging the pre-programmed memory unit for subsequent incorporation into a memory product; verifying the predetermined set of content in the memory unit after the loading; thereafter, checking analog metrics of the predetermined set of content in the memory unit including determining a variance of the predetermined set of content in the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit; and responsive to checking the analog metrics, refreshing the predetermined set of content in the unpackaged non-volatile memory unit.
