Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device comprises a memory cell array and a voltage generator. The memory cell array comprises a plurality of memory cells connected in series between a string selection transistor connected to a bit line and a ground selection transistor connected to a source line. The voltage generator provides read voltages to word lines of memory cells selected from among the plurality of memory cells during a read operation. The read voltages of the selected memory cells differ from each other according to their respective distances from the string selection transistor.
