The invention provides a nonvolatile memory device, a method for operating the same, and a method for fabricating the same. The nonvolatile memory device includes a plurality of channel structures formed over a substrate and including a plurality of interlayer dielectric layers alternately stacked with a plurality of channel layers; first and second vertical gates alternately disposed between the channel structures along one direction crossing with the channel structure and adjoining the plurality of channel layers with a memory layer interposed therebetween; and a pair of first and second word lines disposed over or under the channel structures and extending along the one direction in such a way as to overlap with the first and second vertical gates. The first word line is connected with the first vertical gates and the second word line is connected with the second vertical gates.
