Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method of operating the same. The semiconductor device may include a plurality of memory blocks. Each of the plurality of memory blocks may include a plurality of cell strings extending substantially perpendicular to a semiconductor substrate, the plurality of cell strings sharing a plurality of bit lines, and a plurality of source lines respectively connected to the cell strings and word lines. Page buffers, connected to the bit lines, may store data. A selection switch portion may selectively transmit a voltage corresponding to data stored in the page buffers, and voltages supplied from an external source, to the bit lines and the source lines during the program operation, the read operation and the erase operation. A control circuit may control the page buffers and the selection switch portion.
