Abstract

Memory devices and program methods thereof, the memory devices including a memory cell array with a three-dimensional structure, a voltage generator configured to supply a pass voltage and a program voltage to the memory cell array, and a control logic configured to make the rising slope of the pass voltage variable with a program loop during a program operation. The memory device may improve a program speed by adjusting the rising slope of the pass voltage according to the program loop.
