A memory device includes a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled to the memory array, to perform operations including causing a read operation to be initiated with respect to a set of target cells, determining whether the read operation has failed, in response to determining that the read operation has failed, obtaining, for each group of adjacent cells, respective cell state information, assigning, based on the cell state information, each target cell of the set of target cells to a respective state information bin of a set of state information bins, determining whether to initiate auto-calibrated corrective read, in response to determining to initiate auto-calibrated corrective read, performing read level offset calibration to determine a set of calibrated read level offsets, and causing the set of target cells to be read using the set of calibrated read level offsets.

Auto-calibrated corrective read

A memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. The strings of memory cells in the stack comprise channel-material strings and storage-material strings extending through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. At least some of the storage material of the storage-material strings in individual of the insulative tiers are intrinsically less charge-transmissive than is the storage material in the storage-material strings in individual of the conductive tiers. Other aspects, including method, are disclosed.
