Abstract
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device and method of programming the non-volatile semiconductor memory device are disclosed. The non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a selected word-line and unselected word-lines including at least one unselected word-line to which a first voltage signal is applied. The selected word-line is coupled to a selected memory transistor and receives a program voltage signal in response to a program voltage enable signal. A first voltage signal is applied to the at least one unselected word-line. The first voltage signal has a voltage level of a reduced pass voltage signal before the program voltage enable signal is activated and has a voltage level of a pass voltage signal while the program voltage enable signal is activated.
