A memory cell array(100) includes a main region having memory cells arranged on regions where a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines are crossed, and an index region having memory cells arranged on regions where the plurality of word lines and a plurality of index bit lines are crossing. The main region has memory cells where user data bits are stored. The index region has an index cell storing index bits to inform the variation of a threshold voltage and threshold voltage information cells storing data bits for an initial threshold voltage of the index cell. A row decoder(200) selects one of the plurality of word lines by receiving an address. A word line voltage generator(300) provides a word line voltage to the selected word line in response to a step code. A page buffer(400) stores the user data bits to be programmed in the main region or stores data bits sensed through the plurality of bit lines from the main region, and stores the index bits to be programmed in the index region and data bits for the initial threshold voltage value or the index bits sensed through the plurality of index bit lines from the index region and data bits for the initial threshold voltage value temporarily. A control logic(500) controls the word line voltage generator and the page buffer, and generates the step code applied to the word line voltage generator.

Abstract: A flash memory device using a program data cache and a program method thereof are provided to remove coupling influence according to program operation of adjacent cells by selecting reprogrammed cells using the cache after first program operation performed with a low program verify voltage. According to a program method of a flash memory device, plural data to be programmed are loaded on a program cache(S10). A part of the plural data are written into selected memory cells according to a first verify voltage(S20). Rewrite operation for the selected memory cells is judged by referring to the plural data loaded on the program cache. A part of the plural data are rewritten into the selected memory cells according to a second verify voltage lower than the first verify voltage, according to the judgment result(S60).

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device having a dummy cell arranged in a cell string is provided to have the same operation characteristic for all memory cells, by making the conditions of the adjacent memory cells equal. In a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, a cell string(110) is electrically erasable and programmable and includes a number of nonvolatile memory cells, a selection gate transistor serially connected to the memory cells, and a dummy cell inserted between the memory cell at one end and the selection gate transistor. The dummy cell is not used for storing data. A normal word line driver(310) selectively enables normal word lines gating the memory cells. A dummy word line driver(330,350) enables a dummy word line gating the dummy cell. The dummy word line driver is specified by a row address specifying the normal word line driver.

Abstract: A program method of a flash memory, capable of compensating read margin reduction due to hot temperature stress(HTS) is provided to secure a sufficient read margin between adjacent states, in spite of threshold voltage increase due to electric field coupling/F-poly coupling and threshold voltage decrease due to HTS. According to a program method of a flash memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells to store multi-bit data indicating one of a plurality of states, memory cells selected to have one of the states are programmed with multi-bit data. The programmed memory cells belonging to a specific region of a threshold voltage distribution corresponding to each of at least two states are detected. The specific region of each of the two states is selected by one of a first verify voltage and a read voltage and a second verify voltage, where the second verify voltage is higher than the first verify voltage and the read voltage is lower than the first verify voltage. The detected memory cells of the two states are simultaneously programmed to have a threshold voltage equal to or higher than the second verify voltage corresponding to each of the two states.
