Abstract:
In a NAND flash memory device, a dummy NAND string is arranged between a plurality of normal NAND strings. A dummy bit line connected to the dummy NAND string is formed and/or controlled such that when program voltages are applied to the normal NAND strings, memory cells within the dummy NAND string are not programmed.
