Abstract

A method of adjusting a threshold voltage of a ground selection transistor in a nonvolatile memory device includes providing a first voltage to a gate of a first ground selection transistor in a read operation and providing a second voltage to a gate of a second ground selection transistor in the read operation. The nonvolatile memory device includes at least one string, the string having string selection transistors, memory cells and the first and second ground selection transistors connected in series and stacked on a substrate.
