Abstract
A method for programming a non-volatile memory device includes: providing a non-volatile memory device including data cells capable of storing N-bit data (N is a natural number) and a monitoring cell capable of monitoring whether the N-bit data has been programmed into the data cells; performing a first programming operation for the data cells while inhibiting programming of the monitoring cell; and performing a second programming operation for the monitoring cell while inhibiting programming of the data cells, wherein the second programming operation is performed differently from the first programming.
