Abstract:
A program method of a nonvolatile memory device that performs a plurality of program loops is provided. At least one of the plurality of program loops includes dividing a channel of a selected cell string into a first side channel and a second side channel during a first interval and a second interval, turning off a string selection transistor of the selected cell string by applying a string select line voltage of a first level during the first interval, and boosting a first voltage of the first side channel and a second voltage of the second side channel, and turning on the string selection transistor by applying the string select line voltage of a second level different from the first level during the second interval, and performing a hot carrier injection (HCI) program operation on a selected memory cell corresponding to the first side channel or the second side channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A program method of a nonvolatile memory device that comprises a plurality of memory cells and performs a plurality of program loops on a selected memory cell connected to a selected word line, wherein at least one of the plurality of program loops comprises:\n dividing a channel of a selected cell string into a first side channel and a second side channel based on a switching memory cell connected to a switching word line by applying a switching voltage to the switching word line during a first interval and a second interval; turning off a string selection transistor by applying a string select line voltage of a first level to a gate of the string selection transistor of the selected cell string during the first interval, and boosting a first voltage of the first side channel and a second voltage of the second side channel; and turning on the string selection transistor by applying the string select line voltage of a second level different from the first level during the second interval, and performing a hot carrier injection (HCI) program operation on the selected memory cell corresponding to the first side channel or the second side channel by dropping the boosted first voltage of the first side channel through a selected bit line connected to the selected cell string.
