A refresh method for a flash memory includes at least the following steps: performing a write operation to store an input data into a storage space in the flash memory; checking reliability of the storage space with the input data already stored therein; and when the reliability of the storage space meets a predetermined criterion, performing a refresh operation upon the storage space based on the input data. For example, the write operation stores the input data into the storage space through an initial program operation and at least one reprogram operation following the initial program operation; and the refresh operation is an additional reprogram operation applied to the storage space for programming the input data recovered from the storage space into original storage locations in the storage space. |
