Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for repair operation techniques are described. A memory device may detect a failure of a read operation associated with a physical row address of a memory die. The memory device may store information associated with the physical row address before performing a media management operation and after detecting the failure. Additionally or alternatively, the memory device may initiate a counter based on detecting the failure and may increment a value of the counter for each media management operation performed after detecting the failure. The memory device may send a command or other information to perform a repair operation for the physical row address. The memory device may determine the physical row address for the repair operation (e.g., despite media management operations) based on the stored information or the value of the counter, and may perform the repair operation on the physical row address.
