Abstract
In an on-chip copy process, performed by a storage device, data is copied from a plurality of Single Level Cell (SLC) blocks of non-volatile three-dimensional memory (e.g., 3D flash memory) in a respective memory die to a Multilevel Cell (MLC) block of the same memory die. A copy of source data from a respective SLC block is interleaved with a copy of source data from one or more other SLC blocks in the memory die to produce interleaved source data. Each source data copy that is interleaved is rotated by an offset assigned to the respective SLC block from which the source data is copied, and each respective SLC block in the plurality of SLC blocks is assigned a distinct offset. Each distinct set of the interleaved source data is written to a distinct respective MLC page of the MLC block.
