Abstract
A method for programming a three-dimensional (3D) memory device is provided. The 3D memory device has a plurality of memory strings with memory cells vertically stacked, and each memory cell is addressable through a word line and a bit line. The method for programming the 3D memory device includes the following steps: applying a program voltage on a selected word line; applying a first pass voltage on a first group of unselected word lines; and applying a second pass voltage on a second group of unselected word lines, wherein the second pass voltage is different from the first pass voltage.
