Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and a control circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory blocks, each including a plurality memory cells coupled to word-lines respectively, and the word-lines are stacked vertically on a substrate. The control circuit divides a first memory block of the plurality of memory blocks into a partial bad region and a partial normal region based on error information of an uncorrectable error of the first memory block which is designated as a bad block. The control circuit performs a memory operation on the partial normal region by applying a first bias condition to the partial bad region and by applying a second bias condition to the partial normal region, based on a command and an address, and the first bias condition is different from the second bias condition.

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and control logic. The memory cell array includes multiple memory blocks, each memory block including memory cells connected to word lines and bit lines. The control logic is configured to perform an erase operation in which an erase voltage is applied to a memory block of the multiple memory blocks to erase the memory cells of the memory block, and in which an erase verification voltage is applied a selected word line of the memory block to verify respective erase states of memory cells connected to the selected word line. The control logic is further configured to apply a read voltage to the selected word line to extract erase state information of the memory cells, and to control a level of the erase verification voltage based on the erase state information.

Abstract: Nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and a control circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory blocks, the memory blocks including a plurality of memory cells coupled to word-lines respectively, the word-lines are stacked vertically on a substrate, and some memory cells of the plurality of memory cells are selected by sub-block unit smaller than one memory block. The control circuit divides sub-blocks of a first memory block into at least one bad sub-block and at least one normal sub-block based on error occurrence frequency of each of the sub-blocks, and applies different program/erase cycles to the at least one bad sub-block and the at least one normal sub-block based on a command and an address provided from external to the nonvolatile memory device. The at least one bad sub-block and the at least one normal sub-block are adjacent each other.

Abstract: A memory device includes: a memory cell array; a control logic circuit; and a row decoder. The row decoder is configured to activate string selection lines based on control of the control logic circuit. A program interval is formed between a first program operation and a second program operation. The control logic circuit includes a reprogram controller configured to control the row decoder so that a program interval differs in the memory cells connected to different string selection lines among the memory cells connected to a first wordline.
