Abstract

Embodiments disclosed can include determining, for each memory cell connected to each wordline, a respective value of a metric that reflects a sensitivity of a threshold voltage associated with the memory cell to a change in a threshold voltage of an adjacent cell and determining, for each wordline, based on the determined sensitivity for each memory cell, a respective aggregate measure of adjacent cell dependence. They can further include comparing the determined aggregate measure of adjacent cell dependence to a threshold dependence value. They can also include identifying a first wordline group having wordlines with high adjacent cell dependence and a second wordline group having wordlines with low adjacent cell dependence and storing a record referencing the wordlines of the second wordline group, the record indicating a corresponding location on the die of the memory device.
