Abstract:
Provided is a method of operating a non-volatile memory device. The method includes applying a turn-on voltage to each of first and second string select transistors of a first NAND string, applying first and second voltages to third and fourth string select transistors of a second NAND string, respectively, and applying a high voltage to word lines connected with memory cells of the first and second NAND strings.
Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor memory device. In the semiconductor memory device, a lower selection gate controls a first channel region that is defined at a semiconductor substrate and a second channel region that is defined at the lower portion of an active pattern disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The first threshold voltage of the first channel region is different from the second threshold voltage of the second channel region.
