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: A method of operating a nonvolatile memory device includes erasing data within a NAND string of memory cells within the memory device by applying a non-zero erase voltage to a source/drain terminal at a first end of the NAND string. This erase voltage is applied concurrently with establishing gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) in a pair of selection transistors within the NAND string. This GIDL can occur by applying unequal and non-zero first and second voltages to respective first and second gate terminals of the pair of selection transistors. The selection transistors can be string selection transistors or ground selection transistors.

Abstract: An erase method of a nonvolatile memory includes supplying an erase voltage to a substrate, supplying a selection word line voltage to word lines connected with a selected sub-block within a memory block of the nonvolatile memory, supplying a non-selection word line voltage to word lines connected with an unselected sub-block within the memory block during a first delay time from a point of time when the erase voltage is supplied, and thereafter floating the word lines connected with the unselected sub-block.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operation method of a memory device that includes a plurality of memory cells stacked in a direction perpendicular to a substrate. The method includes performing first to (n−1)-th program loops on selected memory cells connected to a selected word line from among the plurality of memory cells, based on a first program parameter, and after the (n−1)-th program loop is performed, performing n-th to k-th program loops on the selected memory cells, based on a second program parameter different from the first program parameter. Herein, n is an integer greater than 1 and k is an integer greater than or equal to n. The first and second program parameters include information about at least two of a program voltage increment, a 2-step verify range, and a bit line forcing voltage used in the first to k-th program loops.
