Method for redundant array of independent disks striping against programming failures and apparatus thereof

A memory apparatus, comprising:

• a plurality of memory cells stored with memory data in N dies, each of the N dies comprising M planes, each of the M planes comprising a memory block, N and M each being a positive integer;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of memory cells, the controller being configured to:
• determine J layers in the memory block in each of the M planes and in each of the N dies, each of the J layers comprising a pair of adjacent gate conductive layers, J being a positive integer of at least 2;
• and
• determine J stripes each corresponding to M layers of the same level in the M planes and comprising M×N data portions, each of the M×N data portions being stored in a respective portion of the respective M layers;
• determine J parity data portions each corresponding to a respective stripe;
• and
• control a temporary storage unit to store the J parity data portions.

A method for operating a memory apparatus using redundant array of independent disks (RAID) striping, the apparatus comprising a plurality of memory cells stored with memory data in N dies, each of the N dies comprising M planes, each of the M planes comprising a memory block, N and M each being a positive integer, the method comprising:

• determining J layers in the memory block in each of the M planes and in each of the N dies, each of the J layers comprising a pair of adjacent gate conductive layers, J being a positive integer;
• determining M sets of stripes, each of the M sets of stripes comprising a plurality of data portions stored in a respective one of the M planes;
• determining M sets of parity data portions, each of the M sets of parity data portions corresponding to a respective one of the M stripes;
• and
• controlling a temporary storage unit to store the M sets of parity data portions.
