Abstract:
Provided herein are a memory device and a method of operating the memory device. The memory device comprises a plurality of memory cells stacked along a pillar vertical to a substrate, a peripheral circuit configured to program and verifying memory cells coupled to a selected word line, among the memory cells, and a control logic configured to control the peripheral circuit so that a pass voltage applied to unselected word lines is adjusted depending on a location of the selected word line when the memory cells are verified.

Claim (Index 1):
A memory device, comprising:\n a plurality of memory cells stacked on a substrate; a peripheral circuit configured to program and to verify memory cells coupled to a selected word line, among the memory cells; and a control logic configured to control the peripheral circuit, wherein the control logic is configured to control the peripheral circuit so that, during verification of the memory cells: when a first memory cell is selected, a first pass voltage is applied to unselected word lines coupled to unselected memory cells, and when a second memory cell having a width smaller than that of the first memory cell is selected, a second pass voltage is applied to at least one of unselected word lines adjacent to the second memory cell and the first pass voltage is applied to remaining unselected word lines.
