Abstract
Structures and methods for recovering data in a semiconductor memory device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of recovering data in a semiconductor memory device, can include: (i) pre-conditioning a first memory cell on the semiconductor memory device by using a formation voltage to program a first data state in the first memory cell; (ii) storing a second data state in a second memory cell on the semiconductor memory device by maintaining the second memory cell in a virgin state; (iii) mounting the semiconductor memory device on a printed-circuit board (PCB) by using a high temperature process that increases a resistance of the first memory cell; and (iv) performing a recovery of the first data state by reducing the resistance of the first memory cell.
