Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method for programming a non-volatile memory device, the method comprising:
determining a first condition comprising at least one of a first voltage level and a first application time;
performing a first program operation by providing at least one voltage to at least one of a word line and a bit line according to the first condition;
determining a second condition comprising at least one of a second voltage level and a second application time based on a result of the first program operation, wherein the second voltage level is different from the first voltage level and the second application time is different from the first application time; and
performing a second program operation by providing the at least one voltage to at least one of the word line and the bit line according to the second condition,
wherein the non-volatile memory device includes:
a substrate;
a memory cell region including a first metal pad and a plurality of memory cells formed perpendicularly to the substrate, wherein the plurality of memory cells are connected to a plurality of word lines comprising the word line and to a plurality of bit lines comprising the bit line; and
a peripheral region including a second metal pad and a voltage generator configured to generate the at least one voltage, wherein the peripheral region is connected to the plurality of memory cells through the first metal pad and the second metal pad.
