Method of programming a nonvolatile memory device and nonvolatile memory device performing the method |
摘要 |
A method of programming a nonvolatile memory device including multi-level cells that store multi-bit data, includes performing a pre-programming operation that programs at least some of the multi-level cells to a plurality of intermediate states which are different from an erased state, and performing a main programming operation that programs the multi-level cells to a plurality of target states corresponding to the multi-bit data. At least some of the intermediate program states have threshold voltage distributions that partially overlap each other. |

1. A method of programming a nonvolatile memory device including multi-level cells that store multi-bit data, the method comprising:
performing a pre-programming operation that programs at least some of the multi-level cells to a plurality of intermediate states which are different from an erased state, at least some of the intermediate states having threshold voltage distributions that partially overlap each other; and performing a main programming operation that programs the multi-level cells to a plurality of target states corresponding to the multi-bit data. |
