  • Patent number: 11923018
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a peripheral circuit, and a control logic. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells. The peripheral circuit performs a program operation on selected memory cells among the plurality of memory cells. The control logic controls the program operation of the peripheral circuit. The program operation includes a plurality of program loops. The control logic is configured to control the peripheral circuit to apply a program voltage to a select word line that is connected to the selected memory cells, apply a first under drive voltage that is determined based on at least one verify voltage to the select word line, and apply the at least one verify voltage to the select word line in each of the plurality of program loops. The first under drive voltage is at a lower voltage level than the at least one verify voltage.
