Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for annealing non-volatile memory. A controller identifies one or more life cycle characteristics of a non-volatile storage element. The controller selects an anneal duration and an anneal temperature for annealing the non-volatile storage element. The anneal duration and the anneal temperature are based on the one or more life cycle characteristics. The controller anneals the non-volatile storage element using the selected anneal duration and anneal temperature.
