    摘要: Multi-bit programming apparatuses and methods are provided. A multi-bit programming apparatus may include: a first programming unit that stores data corresponding to a number of first bits in at least one first memory cell that may be connected to at least one first bit line; and a second programming unit that stores data corresponding to a number of second bits in at least one second memory cell that may be connected to at least one second bit line. Through this, it may be possible to improve data reliability and increase a number of bits to be stored in the entire memory cell.
