Abstract

An operation method of a memory device includes programming a test pattern in a normal area, obtaining locations of error bits with respect to the test pattern and an error count for each error bit location, and repairing faulty cells included in the normal area with redundancy cells in a redundancy area based on the locations of the error bits and the error counts.
