Abstract

An operation method of a nonvolatile memory device includes performing a 1-stage program step and a 1-stage verify step on a first word line, storing a first time stamp, performing the 1-stage program step and the 1-stage verify step on a second word line, storing a second time stamp, calculating a delay time based on the first time stamp and the second time stamp, determining whether the delay time is greater than a threshold value, adjusting at least one 2-stage verify voltage associated with the first word line from a first voltage level to a second voltage level based on the delay time, and performing a 2-stage program step and a 2-stage verify step on the first word line. A level of the at least one 1-stage verify voltage is lower than the second voltage level, and the second voltage level is lower than the first voltage level.
