Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device includes at least one memory block and a control circuit. The at least one memory block includes a plurality of cell strings, each including a string selection transistor, a plurality of memory cells and a ground selection transistor. The control circuit controls a program operation by precharging channels of the plurality of cell strings to a first voltage during a bit-line set-up period of a program loop, applying a program voltage to a selected word-line of the plurality of cell strings during a program execution period of the program loop and after recovering voltages of the selected word-line and unselected word-lines of the plurality of cell strings to a negative voltage smaller than a ground voltage, recovering the voltages of the selected word-line and the unselected word-lines to a second voltage greater than the ground voltage during a recovery period of the program loop.
