Abstract

A control method for a nonvolatile memory device with a vertically stacked structure is provided. The nonvolatile memory device includes a substrate, a common source line formed on the substrate, and plural memory blocks disposed over the substrate. Each memory block includes a cell string connected between a bit line and the common source line. Firstly, a first memory block of the plural memory blocks is selected as an active memory block, and one of the remaining memory blocks is selected as a second memory block. Then, a ground voltage is provided to the bit line of the second memory block, and the cell string of the second memory block is conducted, so that the ground voltage is transmitted from the bit line to the common source line through the cell string.
