Abstract:
A memory device includes stacked word lines stacked and a semiconductor channel passing through the word lines in a first direction. Memory cells are disposed along the semiconductor channel in the first direction. Each memory cell includes a charge retention film between the semiconductor channel and a respective word line in the plurality of word lines. A controller is connected to the semiconductor channel and the word lines and configured to apply a program voltage during a program operation to a memory cell at a potential that increases in voltage steps, and a voltage increment between the voltage steps decreases during the program operation. The increment voltage is changed by the controller depending on a position of the memory cell along the semiconductor channel in the first direction.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 13 , wherein\n voltage steps in the first series increase during the program operation by different increment sizes, voltage steps in the second series increase during the program operation by different increment sizes, and increment sizes of the first series are larger than corresponding increment sizes of the second series.
