Abstract
A memory device having an improved operation speed may include a memory block including memory cells, a peripheral circuit configured to perform a program operation of increasing each of threshold voltages of the memory cells, and a control logic configured to control the peripheral circuit to perform the program operation. The program operation may include a plurality of program loops, each of the plurality of program loops may include a program voltage apply operation and a verify operation, and the control logic may control the peripheral circuit to perform verification on a highest program state during a verify operation included in a next program loop of any one program loop, when verification of a next higher program state among the plurality of program states is passed during a verify operation included in the any one program loop among the plurality of program loops.
