    摘要: Provided is a method of programming a resistance variable memory device. The resistance variable memory device includes a memory cell having multi states and a write driver outputting a program pulse for programming the memory cell into one of the multi states. The method of programming the resistance variable memory device includes applying a first program pulse to the resistance variable memory device and applying a second program pulse to a memory cell when the memory cell is programmed into an intermediate state. When the first program pulse is a reset pulse, the reset pulse is an over program pulse, that is, an over reset pulse. Therefore, the resistance variable memory device can secure a sufficient read margin as well as improve a resistance drift margin.
