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 20):
The nonvolatile memory device of  claim 17 , further comprising a row decoder configured to receive the program voltage, the first inhibition voltage, and the second inhibition voltage from the voltage generator and to apply the program voltage, the first inhibition voltage, and the second inhibition voltage to the memory cell array,\n wherein the control logic unit is further configured to control the voltage generator so that the second inhibition voltage is applied later than the first inhibition voltage to the row decoder.
