Abstract
A memory repairing method for a rewritable non-volatile memory module and a memory controller and a memory storage apparatus are provided. The method includes monitoring a wear degree of the rewritable non-volatile memory module; determining whether the wear degree of the rewritable non-volatile memory module is larger than a threshold; and heating the rewritable non-volatile memory module such that the temperature of the rewritable non-volatile memory module lies in between 100° C.˜600° C. if the wear degree of the rewritable non-volatile memory module is larger than the threshold. Accordingly, deteriorated memory cells in the rewritable non-volatile memory module can be repaired, thereby preventing data loss.
