Abstract
A programming method of a non-volatile memory device having a drain select transistor, a source select transistor, and a plurality of memory cells connected between the drain select transistor and the source select transistor includes applying a program voltage, which increases stepwise according to a repetition of a program cycle, to a selected memory cell and applying a pass voltage, which decreases in inverse proportion to change of the program voltage, to some of unselected memory cells.
