PURPOSE: A non-volatile memory device and a memory system including the same are provided to improve read performance by reducing a time for loading voltage to a word line. CONSTITUTION: A first NAND string (NS11) includes a first string selection transistor (SST), a first local ground selection transistor (LGST), a first global ground selection transistor (GGST), and a first memory cell. A second NAND string includes a second string selection transistor, a second local ground selection transistor, a second global ground selection transistor, and a second memory cell. Pass transistors (PT1-PT5) provide selected operation voltage to the first and the second string selection transistor, the first and the second local ground selection transistor, and the first and the second global selection transistor.

PURPOSE: A nonvolatile memory device is provided to prevent the degradation of reliability due to the reduction of read margin by providing driving signals with a constant rising slope to a memory cell array. CONSTITUTION: A memory cell array(110) includes a plurality of memory cells laminated in an orthogonal direction to a substrate. A row selection circuit(130) is connected to a memory cell array with word lines. A voltage generating circuit(120) generates voltages provided to word lines. The voltage generating circuit generates voltages which gradually increase to a target voltage level.

PURPOSE: A nonvolatile memory device and a driving method thereof are provided to improve the reliability of a read operation by setting a selection signal provided to a selection line. CONSTITUTION: A memory cell array(110) is connected between a substrate and a plurality of bit lines. A gating circuit drives each selection line in two directions and includes a first gating circuit(130) and a second gating circuit(135). The first gating circuit provides a string selection signal and a ground selection signal to one end of the selection lines and provides a word line voltage to a plurality of word lines. A second gating circuit provides the string selection signal and the ground selection signal to the other end of the selection line.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A flash memory device and a programming method thereof are provided to increase a program speed by controlling a rising slope of a pass voltage according to a program loop. CONSTITUTION: A voltage generator(1150) provides a pass voltage and a program voltage to a memory cell array. A control logic(1160) includes a voltage sloper(1165). The voltage sloper differently changes a rising slope of the pass voltage according to a program loop in a program operation. The voltage generator includes a voltage ramper(1153) and generates a pass voltage with a plurality of ramping levels. The voltage ramper generates the pass voltage with a plurality of ramping levels.
