Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for self-repair verification are described. A memory system may receive, at a memory device, a command to initiate a repair operation. The memory system may perform the repair operation by replacing a first row of memory cells of the memory device with a second row of memory cells of the memory device. The memory system may write first data to the second row of memory cells, and read second data from the second row of memory cells, based on a stored indication associated with the replacement of rows. The memory device may output an error flag with a first value based at least in part on reading the second data, and the first value of the error flag may indicate that the repair operation was successfully performed based at least in part on the second data matching the first data.
