Abstract
A non-volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory erasing operation method is provided. The method includes the following. A first erasing operation is performed, including reducing a threshold voltage of each of a plurality of memory cells of the non-volatile memory through a first erasing pulse. A first verification operation is performed to confirm whether the threshold voltage of each of the memory cells is less than an erasing target voltage level. In response to at least one of the memory cells failing the first verification operation, a second erasing operation is performed. The second erasing operation includes selecting the at least one memory cell failing the first verification operation, and reducing the threshold voltage of the at least one memory cell to be less than the erasing target voltage level through a second erasing pulse.
