Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device for reducing hot-carrier injection (HCI) and a programming method of the nonvolatile memory device, the programming method of the nonvolatile memory device includes programming memory cells included in a cell string in a direction from an upper memory cell adjacent to a string selection transistor to a lower memory cell adjacent to a ground selection transistor from among a plurality of memory cells; when a selected memory cell is programmed, applying a first inhibition voltage to first non-selected word lines connected to first non-selected memory cells located over the selected memory cell; and applying a second inhibition voltage to second non-selected word lines connected to second non-selected memory cells located under the selected memory cell when a predetermined delay time elapses after the first inhibition voltage is applied.

Claim (Index 17):
A nonvolatile memory device comprising:\n a memory cell array comprising a plurality of cell strings each comprising a plurality of memory cells vertically located on a substrate; a voltage generator configured to generate, during a program operation performed on the memory cell array, a program voltage applied to a word line connected to a selected memory cell, a first inhibition voltage applied to first non-selected word lines connected to first non-selected memory cells located over the selected memory cell, and a second inhibition voltage applied to second non-selected word lines connected to second non-selected memory cells located under the selected memory cell; and a control logic unit configured to control the program operation to be performed in a direction from an upper memory cell to a lower memory cell in each of the plurality of cell strings and to control at least one from among a level and a rise timing of the second inhibition voltage to be different from that of the first inhibition voltage.
