NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE AND RELATED METHOD OF OPERATION
First Claim
1. A method of operating a nonvolatile memory device comprising cell strings formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a substrate and configured to select memory cells in units corresponding to a string selection line, the method comprising:
- selecting a page to be programmed among pages sharing a common word line;
determining a level of a program voltage to be provided to the selected page according to a location of a string selection line corresponding to the selected page; and
writing data in the selected page using the determined level of the program voltage.

Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device comprises cell strings formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a substrate and is configured to select memory cells in units corresponding to a string selection line. The device selects a page to be programmed among pages sharing a common word line, determines a level of a program voltage to be provided to the selected page according to a location of a string selection line corresponding to the selected page, and writes data in the selected page using the determined level of the program voltage.
