Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes memory cells stacked in a direction perpendicular to a substrate and further includes a first memory cell string connected between a selected bit line and a selected string selection line, a second memory cell string connected between the selected bit line and an unselected string selection line, and a third memory cell string connected to an unselected bit line. During a bit line setup section of a program operation, a ground voltage is provided to the selected bit line and a power supply voltage provided to the unselected string selection line is changed to the ground voltage.
Abstract:
A flash memory device includes a memory cell array connected with word lines and control logic that performs threshold voltage compensation on the word lines through a data recover read operation. When a word line on which programming is performed after a selected word line is a dummy word line, the control logic performs the threshold voltage compensation on the selected word line based on a result of a data recover read operation of a word line on which programming is performed before the selected word line. When a next word line on which programming is performed after a selected word line is a dummy word line, the control logic performs threshold voltage compensation on the selected word line based on a result of performing the data recover read operation on a previous word line on which programming is performed before the selected word line.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array having cell strings that each includes memory cells stacked on a substrate in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. A row decoder is connected with the memory cells through word lines. The row decoder applies a setting voltage to at least one word line of the word lines and floats the at least one word line during a floating time. A page buffer circuit is connected with the cell strings through bit lines. The page buffer senses voltage changes of the bit lines after the at least one word line is floated during the floating time and outputs a page buffer signal as a sensing result. A counter counts a number of off-cells in response to the page buffer signal. A detecting circuit outputs a detection signal associated with a defect cell based on the number of off-cells.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device may include a memory cell array and a control logic. The memory cell array has a plurality of memory cells connected to a plurality of word lines. The control logic controls, in a transition process from a verification step to a bit line setup step for a program operation of the plurality of memory cells, an application of a recovery voltage to a word line among the plurality of word lines. The recovery voltage applied to the word line is different from a recovery voltage applied to other word lines.
Abstract:
A method of reading a nonvolatile memory device comprises applying a read voltage to a memory cell array to read selected memory cells, counting a number of the selected memory cells that have a threshold voltage higher or lower than the read voltage, and comparing the counted number with a reference value to determine a number of bits stored in the selected memory cells.

Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory includes a memory cell array, a row decoder circuit, and a page buffer circuit. The row decoder circuit applies a turn-on voltage to string selection lines, which are connected to string selection transistors of a selected memory block, at a first precharge operation in response to a write command received from an external device. The page buffer circuit applies, in response to the write command, a first voltage to bit lines, which are connected to the string selection transistors, through a first precharge circuit at the first precharge operation regardless of loaded data and applies the first voltage and a second voltage to the bit lines through a second precharge circuit at a second precharge operation based on the loaded data. During the first precharge operation, write data is loaded onto the page buffer circuit.

Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device, including a first latch unit and a nonvolatile memory cell, and a method of writing data in a nonvolatile memory device are provided. The method includes receiving a first writing command or a second writing command from outside of the nonvolatile memory device, and writing first data stored in the first latch unit in the nonvolatile memory cell in response to the first or second writing command. The first data is retained in the first latch unit until the writing of the first data stored in the first latch unit in the nonvolatile memory cell is completed.
