METHOD OF PERFORMING ERASE OPERATION IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

A method of performing an erase operation in a non-volatile memory device includes a multi-erase operation and a post-erase operation. The multi-erase operation includes multi-erasing multiple memory blocks at the same time using a multi-erase voltage. The post-erase operation includes post-erasing one or more failed memory blocks of the multi-erased memory blocks using a post-erase voltage having sequentially increasing voltage values based on incremental step pulses (ISPs).
