Abstract
A method of programming a non-volatile memory device with timely-adjusted voltages applied to word lines to prevent program disturb includes applying a first pass voltage to word lines in a direction of a source select line based on a first word line selected for a program operation, wherein the word lines do not include a second word line adjacent to the first word line in a direction of the source select line; and applying a first voltage, a program voltage and a second pass voltage when the first pass voltage reaches a given level. The first voltage is applied to the second word line, the program voltage is provided to the first word line, and the second pass voltage is applied to word lines in a direction of a drain select line on the basis of the first word line.
