Abstract
The disclosure provides a semiconductor device and a programming method capable of programming with reduced power consumption. The programming method of the NAND flash memory of the disclosure prepares high-speed programming blocks and copy back block for final data storage, responding to an external input programming command while in an power-saving mode, program 1/2 pages of data in even-numbered pages and odd-numbered pages of the high-speed programming blocks respectively, then the data is read out from the high-speed programming blocks, and the read data is normally programmed into the copy back block.
