Patent number: 8531887Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device programs a memory cell by performing a plurality of program loops each comprising a program operation and a program verifying operation. Where the program verifying operation in one program loop determines that the memory cell has been successfully programmed to a target state, a soft-programming operation is performed in a subsequent program loop to determine whether the memory cell has retained the target state, and if not, increases the threshold voltage of the memory cell.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jung-no Im, Jae-woo Park
