    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate including a page buffer region, a memory cell array, bitlines, first vertical conduction paths, and second vertical conduction paths. The memory cell array is formed in a memory cell region above the semiconductor substrate and includes memory cells. The bitlines extend in a column direction above the memory cell array. Each of bitlines is cut into each of first bitline segments and each of second bitline segments. The first vertical conduction paths extend in a vertical direction and penetrate a column-directional central region of the memory cell region. The first vertical conduction paths connect the first bitline segments and the page buffer region. The second vertical conduction paths extend in the vertical direction and penetrate the column-directional central region. The second vertical conduction paths connect the second bitline segments and the page buffer region.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device including a memory cell array having a plurality of planes; a plurality of page buffers arranged corresponding to each of the plurality of planes; and a control logic circuit configured to transmit a bit line setup signal to each of the plurality of page buffers. Each of the plurality of page buffers includes a precharge circuit configured to precharge a sensing node and a bit line in response to the bit line setup signal, and a shutoff circuit configured to perform a bit line shutoff operation in response to a bit line shutoff signal. The control logic circuit is configured to control a transition time when a level of the bit line setup signal is changed according to a gradient of the bit line shutoff signal which is changed from a first level to a second level.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell region and a peripheral circuit region. The memory cell region includes a memory block, and the peripheral circuit region includes a control circuit. The memory cell region includes a first metal pad. The peripheral circuit region includes a second metal pad and is vertically connected to the memory cell region by the first metal pad and the second metal pad. The memory block includes a plurality of memory cells disposed in a vertical direction. The control circuit determines whether a data erase characteristic for the memory block is degraded for each predetermined cycle of data erase operation, and performs a data erase operation by changing a level of a voltage applied to selection transistors for selecting the memory block as an erase target block when it is determined that the data erase characteristic is degraded.
