Abstract
A semiconductor memory and a method of programming the same are provided. A semiconductor memory device may include a memory cell array including a plurality of normal memory cells, a select transistor, and a dummy memory cell. The semiconductor memory device may include a voltage generator configured for generating a program voltage applied to a normal memory cell selected among the plurality of normal memory cells, and for generating a dummy word line voltage applied to the dummy memory cell in a program operation. The semiconductor memory device may include a control logic configured for controlling the voltage generator to adjust the dummy word line voltage based on the program voltage.
