Abstract
Technology for hybrid block management for dynamic SLC verify. The memory system tracks multi-level cell (MLC) programming speed of candidate pages in a three-dimensional NAND memory structure. The memory system determines whether each respective candidate page is eligible for single-level cell (SLC) programming without program verify based on the MLC programming speed. The memory system then programs the candidate pages based on the determination. The memory system may maintain a bitmap that specifies whether a particular candidate page is to receive program verify or not for SLC programming. In one aspect, the MLC programming speed is tracked by noting the number of program pulses used to complete MLC programming.
