Abstract
A non-volatile memory device includes a memory cell block, a first switching block, and a second switching block. A plurality of memory cells are arranged in the memory cell block and each of the memory cells includes a memory transistor having a floating gate and a control gate and is connected to a local bit line and includes a selection transistor connected to the memory transistor in series that is connected to a source line. The first switching block selectively connects a global bit line to the local bit line and the second switching block controls the memory cells in the memory cell block in units of a predetermined number of bits. The first switching block includes at least two switching devices connected in parallel between the global bit line and the local bit line.
