Abstract

A three-dimensional (3-D) non-volatile memory device according to embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of bit lines, at least one string row extending in a first direction coupled to the bit lines and including 2N strings, wherein the N includes a natural number, a common source selection line configured to control source selection transistors of the 2N strings included in a memory block, a first common drain selection line configured to control drain selection transistors of a first string and a 2N-th string among the 2N strings included in a memory block, and N−1 second common drain selection lines configured to control drain selection transistors of adjacent strings in the first direction among remaining strings other than the first string and the 2N-th string.
