Abstract
Memory devices can be protected (e.g., repaired) against hard bit errors by remapping logical pages to valid physical addresses and excluding those physical addresses having hard bit errors from being mapped to. The remapping can be done in unit of a finer granularity than a row of memory cells such that those valid memory cells within a row can still be used for the remapping despite that the row may include unusable memory cells.
