Erasing method of non-volatile memory device |
摘要 |
A method for erasing a first sub-block of a plurality of sub-blocks included in a block of a non-volatile memory device, wherein the first sub-block includes at least one word line, includes applying an erase voltage to a substrate, applying a third voltage lower than the erase voltage to the word line of the first sub-block, applying a first voltage at least one word line adjacent to the word line of the first sub-block, and applying a second voltage that is the same as or similar to the erase voltage to the other word lines, where the first voltage has a level between the third voltage and the second voltage. |

1. A method for erasing a first sub-block of a plurality of sub-blocks included in a block of a non-volatile memory device, wherein the first sub-block includes at least one word line, comprising:
applying an erase voltage to a substrate; applying a third voltage lower than the erase voltage to the at least one word line of the first sub-block; applying a first voltage to at least one adjacent word line adjacent to the at least one word line of the first sub-block; and applying a second voltage that is in the range of approximately 90% to 100% of the erase voltage to other word lines, wherein the first voltage has a level between the third voltage and the second voltage, and the erasing of the first sub-block is performed when the number of erase-program cycles is equal to or greater than a set number. |
