    Abstract: In a method of programming a three-dimensional nonvolatile memory device, a program loop is executed at least one time, wherein the program loop includes a programming step for programming selected memory cells among the memory cells and a verifying step for verifying whether the selected memory cells are program-passed or not. In the programming the selected memory cells, a level of a voltage being applied to a common source line connected to the strings in common may be changed. Thus, in a program operation, power consumption which is needed to charge-discharge the common source line can be decreased while increasing boosting efficiency.

    Abstract: A memory device includes an array of nonvolatile memory cells and a wordline voltage generator configured to drive: a selected word line within the array with a program voltage, a word line extending immediately adjacent the selected word line with a first voltage during the program operation, and an unselected word line within the array with a second voltage having a magnitude less than a magnitude of the first voltage, during a memory cell program operation. A control block is provided, which drives the wordline voltage generator with a first internal power signal having a first magnitude, in response to a first external supply power signal, drives the wordline voltage generator with a second internal power signal having a second magnitude less than the first magnitude, and selectively redirects power from the first external supply power signal to the second internal power signal, in response to detecting a reduction in current and/or voltage associated with the second external power signal that exceeds a threshold amount.

    Abstract: An operation method of a nonvolatile memory device includes receiving a read command and an address, increasing a voltage applied to an unselected word line from an off voltage to a read pass voltage during a setup phase in response to the read command, increasing a voltage applied to an unselected string selection line from the off voltage to a pre-pulse voltage during a first setup phase of the setup phase, increasing a voltage applied to an unselected ground selection line from the off voltage to the pre-pulse voltage during the first setup phase, applying a read voltage to a selected word line to read data corresponding to the address, during a sensing phase following the setup phase, and outputting the read data through data lines after the sensing phase. During the setup phase, a slope of the voltage applied to the unselected word line is varied.

    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.
