Abstract: A memory device and a programming method thereof are provided. The memory device has multiple word lines and a dummy word line set. A word line is selected from the word lines and is applied with a program voltage, and unselected word lines and the dummy word line set are applied with a pass voltage. After programming the selected word line, a program verification is performed on the selected word line. When the selected word line passes the program verification, a high bound and/or low bound check for the threshold voltage distribution of at least one of the dummy word lines is performed. When at least one of the dummy word lines fails in the high bound and/or low bound check, the status of the selected word line is shown as fail or a flag is set thereto.
