Abstract
Provided herein is a semiconductor device and a method of operating the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a memory block, a peripheral circuit, and control logic. The memory block includes a plurality of memory cells. The peripheral circuit is configured to perform a program operation on a memory cell selected from among the plurality of memory cells. The control logic is configured to control the peripheral circuit to allow a common source line coupled to the memory block to float in a sensing phase included in a verify phase of the program operation, and thereafter apply a first voltage, higher than a ground voltage, to the floating common source line.
