The quantity of erase suspends may refer to a quantity that the erase operation is suspended in the erase pulse phase. The method may include releasing, at a second time, the voltage of the special word line in response to the quantity of erase suspends being greater than or equal to the threshold, wherein the second time is earlier than the first time.
