Abstract
A method of controlling a program operation of a flash memory device includes performing a first program process of programming lower bit program data into MLCs of a selected page, a second program process of programming upper bit program data into the MLCs of the selected page, a first verify process of verifying whether all MLCs of the selected page have been programmed, transferring first lower sensing data to the upper bit registers so that the upper bit program data is stored in upper bit registers of all page buffers in order for MLCs to be consecutively programmed though the program operation has been completed during the second program process, and repeatedly performing the second program process, the first verify process and transferring the first lower sensing data until the MLCs of the selected page are completely programmed.
