Abstract

A technique is disclosed for cycling replacement blocks based on die wafer location data. The die wafer location data can provide a die location failure value for each die of a memory device. Each die location failure value can indicate a likelihood of die failure during operation of the memory device. A die of the memory device can be identified as a high-risk die corresponding to a die of the memory device as most likely to experience a die failure based on the die wafer location data. One or more reserved blocks of the high-risk die can be identified. The reserved blocks of the high-risk die can be cycled.
