Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
applying a program enable voltage during the program operation to bit lines connected to depletion mode transistors of a first set of the group of NAND strings;
applying a program inhibit voltage during the program operation to bit lines connected to depletion mode transistors of a second set of the group of NAND strings; and
applying a voltage during the program operation to respective select transistors on the group of NAND strings to connect NAND channels of the first set of the group of NAND string to respective bit lines and to cut off NAND channels of the second set of the group of NAND strings from the respective bit lines, wherein the select transistors each comprise an enhancement mode transistor.
