Abstract

A semiconductor memory device is operated by, inter alia, performing least significant bit programs for pages in a first page group, performing least significant bit programs for pages in a second page group, and performing most significant bit programs for the pages in the first page group. The distance between the second page group and the common source line is greater than that between the first page group and the common source line.
