Abstract

A memory device includes a cell array and a page buffer circuit. The cell array includes first and second cell strings respectively connected to first and second bit lines. The page buffer circuit is configured to apply an erase voltage to the first bit line and to allow the second bit line to be in a floating state, when an erase operation is performed on memory cells of the first and second cell strings.
