Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) nonvolatile memory device includes a cell string. The cell string includes a pillar structure comprising a ground selection transistor, a plurality of memory cells, and a string selection transistor stacked vertically over a substrate. The memory cells comprise a first cell group and a second cell group stacked on the first cell group, and a horizontal width of at least a portion of the pillar structure decreases in a depth direction towards the substrate. A method of programming the memory device includes initializing a channel of a memory cell of the first cell group of the cell string through the ground selection transistor of the pillar structure, and then applying a program voltage to the memory cell of the pillar structure of the cell string.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sequentially executing said initializing and said applying for each of remaining memory cells of the first cell group of the cell string which are to be programmed among the memory cells of the first cell group of the cell string.
