Abstract:
The present disclosure relate a method of operating a semiconductor memory device including at least two memory blocks sharing one block word line. The method including applying an erase voltage to a source line commonly coupled to the memory blocks, one of which is a selected memory block and applying a first voltage to the block word line and a third voltage to a global word line of an unselected memory block of the memory blocks when the erase voltage is applied to the source line, wherein the first voltage is higher than a turn-on voltage to turn on a pass transistor coupled to the block word line, and wherein the third voltage floats a local word line included in the unselected memory block according to a level of the first voltage.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for operating a semiconductor memory device including a pass transistor which connects a plurality of global lines to a plurality of local lines of at least two memory blocks in response to a voltage applied to a block word line, the method comprising:\n applying an erase voltage to a source line commonly coupled to the at least two memory blocks; and transferring the erase voltage applied to a source line to bit lines connected to a selected memory block among the at least two memory blocks using at least one shared block, wherein the at least one shared block is at least one memory block other than the selected memory block among the at least two memory blocks.
