    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device having a multi-stack memory block includes: a memory cell array divided into a plurality of memory stacks disposed in a vertical direction; and a control circuit configured to perform a channel voltage equalization operation of the plurality of memory stacks, wherein inter-stack portions are between the plurality of memory stacks, and a channel hole passes through the word lines of each of the plurality of memory stacks. The control circuit determines, as inter-stack word lines, some word lines adjacent to the inter-stack portions among the word lines of each of the plurality of memory stacks and differently controls setup time points for applying a pass voltage, or recovery time points for applying a ground voltage, to the inter-stack word lines, according to sizes of the channel hole of the inter-stack word lines.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a cell area including memory blocks, and a peripheral circuit area including peripheral circuits that execute an erase operation for each of the memory blocks. Each memory block includes word lines that are stacked on a substrate, channel structures penetrate through the word lines, and a source region that is disposed on the substrate and connected to the channel structures. During the erase operation in which an erase voltage is provided to the source region of a target memory block among the memory blocks, the peripheral circuits reduce a voltage of a first word line from a first bias voltage to a second bias voltage at a first time, and to reduce a voltage of a second word line, different from the first word line, from a third bias voltage to a fourth bias voltage at a second time different from the first time.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes at least one memory block and a control circuit. The at least one memory block includes a plurality of cell strings, each including a string selection transistor, a plurality of memory cells and a ground selection transistor. The control circuit controls a program operation by precharging channels of the plurality of cell strings to a first voltage during a bit-line set-up period of a program loop, applying a program voltage to a selected word-line of the plurality of cell strings during a program execution period of the program loop and after recovering voltages of the selected word-line and unselected word-lines of the plurality of cell strings to a negative voltage smaller than a ground voltage, recovering the voltages of the selected word-line and the unselected word-lines to a second voltage greater than the ground voltage during a recovery period of the program loop.

    Abstract: A memory device includes memory blocks, each including memory cells, and peripheral circuits that control the memory blocks and execute an erase operation for each of the memory blocks. Each memory block includes word lines stacked on a substrate, channel structures extending perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate and penetrating through the word lines, and a source region disposed on the substrate and connected to the channel structures. During an erase operation in which an erase voltage is input to the source region of a target memory block, the peripheral circuits reduce a voltage of a first word line from a first bias voltage to a second bias voltage at a first time and reduce a voltage of a second word line, different from the first word line, from a third bias voltage to a fourth bias voltage at a second time different from the first in time.
