MEMORY DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A memory device comprising:
- a memory block including a plurality of memory cells;
peripheral circuits configured to perform a program operation on the memory cells; and
a control logic configured to control the peripheral circuits to apply, during the program operation, a program voltage to a selected word line and selectively apply, to one or more unselected word lines, a second pass voltage lower than a first pass voltage set as a default voltage during a blind program period which does not include a verify operation.

Abstract
There are provided a memory device and an operating method thereof. A memory device may include a memory block, peripheral circuits, and a control logic. The memory block may include a plurality of memory cells. The peripheral circuits may perform a program operation on the memory cells. The control logic may control the peripheral circuits to apply, during the program operation, a program voltage to a selected word line and selectively apply, to one or more unselected word lines, a second pass voltage lower than a first pass voltage set as a default voltage during a blind program period which does not include a verify operation.

- 9. A method of operating a memory device, the method comprising, during a blind program period during which a program voltage is applied to a selected word line without performing a verify operation, applying a second pass voltage lower than a first pass voltage set as a default voltage to one or more unselected word lines.

14. A method of operating a memory device, the method comprising:
-
determining whether a program operation set to be performed includes a blind program period in which a program voltage is applied to a selected word line without performing a verify operation, in response to a program command; and when the program operation includes a blind program period, programming selected memory cells by applying the program voltage to the selected word line and applying a second pass voltage lower than a first pass voltage set as a default voltage to unselected word lines. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
