Abstract
A method of programming a nonvolatile memory device includes an initial data setting step of inputting data for program inhibition to a first latch of a page buffer to which memory cells to be programmed with a second threshold voltage distribution are coupled, a first program and verification step of performing program and verification operations, a first data setting step of, when a program pulse is supplied more than N times (where N is a natural number), inputting data for performing a program operation to the first latch of the page buffer to which the memory cells to be programmed with the second threshold voltage distribution are coupled, and a second program and verification step of performing program and verification operations.
