Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of reducing program disturb and a method of programming the same are provided. A bit line connected to a non-selected memory cell in the same block as a selected memory cell enters a floating state by inactivating a bit line selection switch, so that voltage levels of an first conductivity type channel and a source/drain terminal formed in a pocket second conductivity type well below a memory transistor have an intermediate level of a voltage level of a selection line and the pocket P type well. Therefore, program disturb caused by FN tunneling and junction hot electrons can be inhibited.

Abstract: A mask read only memory (MROM) device includes first and second gate electrodes formed at on-cell and off-cell regions of a substrate, respectively. A first impurity region is formed at the on-cell region of the substrate so as to be adjacent the first gate electrode. A second impurity region including the same conductivity type as that of the first impurity region is formed at the off-cell region of the substrate so as to be spaced apart from a sidewall of the second gate electrode. A fourth impurity region is formed at the off-cell region to extend from the second impurity region and to overlap with the sidewall of the second gate electrode. The fourth impurity region has a conductivity type opposite to that of the second impurity region and a depth greater than that of the second impurity region.
