Abstract:
To program in a nonvolatile memory device include a plurality of memory cells that are programmed into multiple states through at least two program steps, a primary program is performed from an erase level to a first target level with respect to the memory cells coupled to a selected word line A preprogram is performed from the erase level to a preprogram level in association with the primary program with respect to the memory cells coupled to the selected word line, where the preprogram level is larger than the erase level and smaller than the first target level A secondary program is performed from the preprogram level to a second target level with respect to the preprogrammed memory cells coupled to the selected word line.

Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device comprises multiple memory blocks each comprising multiple memory cells arranged at intersections of wordlines and bitlines, an address decoder configured to electrically connect first lines to wordlines of one of the memory blocks in response to an address, a line selection switch circuit configured to electrically connect the first lines to second lines in different configurations according to the address, a first line decoder configured to provide the second lines with wordline voltages needed for driving, and a voltage generator configured to generate the wordline voltages.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor memory device comprises memory cell strings each comprising at least one selection transistor and at least one memory cell, a first pass transistor group sharing a first well region and comprising a first selection line pass transistor connected to the selection transistor and a first world line pass transistor connected to the memory cell, a second pass transistor group sharing a second well region and comprising a second selection line pass transistor connected to the selection transistor, and a controller that controls the first pass transistor group and the second pass transistor group. The controller applies selected voltages to the first and second well regions during read operation.
