Abstract
A method of programming a flash memory includes programming memory cells connected to a selected word line by applying a first voltage to the selected word line and a second voltage to non-selected word lines, the second voltage being lower than the first voltage, lowering the first voltage of the selected word line to a third voltage after programming the memory cells connected to the selected word line, the third voltage being lower than the first voltage, and recovering a fourth voltage of the selected word line and the non-selected word lines, the fourth voltage being lower than the second and third voltages.
