Abstract

A non-volatile memory device has multi-level cells (MLCs), which are programmed such that one page is written in the MLCs having previous states corresponding to at least one previous page. The non-volatile memory device includes a memory cell array, a row selection circuit and a page buffer block. The memory cell array includes the MLCs commonly coupled to a selected word line and respectively coupled to bitlines. The row selection circuit applies sequentially-decreasing read voltages to the selected wordline to read the previous states of the MLCs, and sequentially-decreasing verification voltages to the selected wordline to program states of the MLCs sequentially from a state having a highest threshold voltage to a state having a lowest threshold voltage. The page buffer block loads data corresponding to the one page, and controls a bitline voltage based on each previous state and each bit of the loaded data.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0127578 filed on December 14, 2006, the subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to programming non-volatile memory devices, and more particularly, to methods of programming multi-level cells and non-volatile memories including page buffer blocks pieces. Background technique [0004] Semiconductor memory devices are generally classified into nonvolatile memory devices that retain stored data when power is turned off, and volatile memory devices that lose stored data when power is turned off. Nonvolatile memory devices include electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), in which stored data can be electrically erased and reprogrammed with new data. [0005] The operation of EEPROM includes: programming mode, for writing data into the memory cell; read ...
