Abstract
A non-volatile memory device includes a memory string, a select gate line coupled to the memory string, word lines coupled to the memory string and including a selected word line, and a control circuit coupled to the select gate line and the word lines, and configured to apply word line pre-pulse signals to at least two groups of the word lines disposed between the select gate line and the selected word line during a pre-charge period. The at least two groups of the word lines include a first group and a second group disposed between the first group and the select gate line. A voltage level of a second word line pre-pulse signal applied to the second group is greater than a voltage level of a first word line pre-pulse signal applied to the first group. A voltage level of at least one word line pre-pulse signal of the word line pre-pulse signals is greater than 0.
