Abstract:
A method of operating a semiconductor memory device, given the case where memory cells have an erase state less than a first reference voltage and a plurality of program states greater than the first reference voltage, includes performing an erase operation so that the memory cells have a soft erase state less than a second reference voltage, and performing a program operation so that each of the memory cells has the soft erase state or one program state greater than the second reference voltage.
