Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device performs a read operation comprising first and second intervals. In the first interval the device applies a turn-on voltage to string selection lines and ground selection lines connected to the string selection transistors and the ground selection transistors, respectively. In the second interval, the device applies a turn-off voltage to unselected string selection lines and unselected ground selection lines while continuing to apply the turn-on voltage to a selected string selection line and a selected ground selection line. In both the first and second intervals, the device applies a first read voltage to a selected wordline connected to memory cells to be read by the read operation and applying a second read voltage to unselected wordlines among connected to memory cells not to be read by the read operation.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a peripheral circuit region and a memory cell region vertically connected with the peripheral circuit region, the peripheral circuit region including at least one first metal pad, and the memory cell region including at least one second metal pad directly connected with the at least one first metal pad. A method of programming the nonvolatile memory device includes: receiving a programming command, data for a plurality of pages, and an address corresponding to a selected word-line; programming the data for one of the pages to an unselected word-line; reading data of a previously programmed page from the selected word-line; and programming the data for the remaining pages and the data of the previously programmed page to the selected word-line.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) nonvolatile memory device includes a cell string. The cell string includes a pillar structure comprising a ground selection transistor, a plurality of memory cells, and a string selection transistor stacked vertically over a substrate. The memory cells comprise a first cell group and a second cell group stacked on the first cell group, and a horizontal width of at least a portion of the pillar structure decreases in a depth direction towards the substrate. A method of programming the memory device includes initializing a channel of a memory cell of the first cell group of the cell string through the ground selection transistor of the pillar structure, and then applying a program voltage to the memory cell of the pillar structure of the cell string.

Abstract:
An operating method of a nonvolatile memory device includes determining whether a memory block is a selected block, and when the memory block is not the selected block, determining whether the memory block shares a block word line with the selected block. The method further includes applying an unselected block word line voltage to word lines of the memory block when the memory block shares the block word line with the selected block, and floating the word lines of the memory block when the memory block does not share the block word line with the selected block.
