Abstract
Provided herein may be a memory device for performing a program operation including program loops and a method of operating the same. The method of operating a memory device may include performing a first program loop of increasing threshold voltages of first memory cells selected by a first drain select line among a plurality of memory cells coupled to a word line, performing a second program loop of increasing threshold voltages of second memory cells selected by a second drain select line among the plurality of memory cells, and alternately repeating the first program loop and the second program loop such that respective threshold voltages of the first memory cells and the second memory cells are increased to respective threshold voltages corresponding to respective target program states.
