由晶圓經過檢測、切割、封裝等眾多流程才會封裝成NAND Flash顆粒(NAND Flash晶片)；在這過程中，NAND Flash顆粒裡面可能會產生壞塊，這類壞塊由於技術因素無可避免。

Managed flash will detect any bad block during write operations to the NAND flash memory cell, and if an error occurs, will mark the block as bad and retire it.

If the bit error rate of a section is above a certain limit during the write/read test, the block is marked as a bad block. In the unlikely ...

How to check bad block? Nand flash manufactory will mark the bad block with one flag in the spare area of nand flash out of factory . This bad block is what we called initial bad block. This flag is what we called bad block indication (BBI).
