    摘要: Provided are a memory cell programming method and a semiconductor device which may be capable of simultaneously writing a bit of data and then another bit of the data to a plurality of memory blocks. The memory programming method, in which M bits of data are written to a plurality of memory blocks, may include a data division operation and a data writing operation where M may be a natural number. In the data division operation, the plurality of memory blocks may be divided into a plurality of memory block groups. In the data writing operation, an ith bit of the data may be simultaneously written to two or more memory block groups from among the plurality memory block groups, and then an i+1th bit of the data may be simultaneously written to the two or more memory block groups from among the plurality memory block groups, where i is a natural number less than M.

    摘要: Methods of operating nonvolatile memory devices are provided. In a method of operating a nonvolatile memory device including a plurality of memory cells, recorded data is stabilized by inducing a boosting voltage on a channel of a memory cell in which the recorded data is recorded. The memory cell is selected from a plurality of memory cells and the boosting voltage on the channel of the selected memory cell is induced by a channel voltage of at least one memory cell connected to the selected memory cell.
