Abstract
A method of correcting errors in a memory array. The method includes configuring a first memory array with a first error correction code (ECC) to provide error correction of data stored in the first memory array, configuring a second memory array with a second ECC to provide error correction of the data stored in the first memory array, performing a reflow process on the first and second memory array, and correcting data stored in the first memory array based on at least the first ECC or the second ECC. The first memory array includes a first set of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The second memory array includes a second set of memory cells arranged in rows and columns.
