Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 12, wherein:
the first program operation further includes generating a third and fourth pass voltage by the voltage generator, wherein the fourth pass voltage is higher than the third pass voltage by a first pass voltage increment, and providing the third and fourth pass voltages to the word lines not immediately adjacent to the selected word line;
the second program operation further includes generating a fifth and sixth pass voltage by the voltage generator, wherein the sixth pass voltage is higher than the fifth pass voltage by a second pass voltage increment, and providing the fifth and sixth pass voltages to the word lines not immediately adjacent to the selected word line; and
the first pass voltage increment is different from the second pass voltage increment.
