Abstract
A method of operating a semiconductor memory device is disclosed. The method may include receiving an access command, applying a first voltage to a selected word line of the semiconductor memory device for a period of time in response to receiving the access command, applying a second voltage to word lines adjacent to the selected word line before and after the period of time, and applying a third voltage to the word lines adjacent to the selected word line for the period of time, a voltage level of the third voltage greater than the second voltage. The applying the third voltage may occur when the semiconductor memory device is operated at a temperature below the predetermined temperature.
