Abstract
An erase method of a nonvolatile memory device includes setting an erase mode, and performing one of a normal erase operation and a quick erase operation according to the set erase mode. The normal erase operation is performed to set a threshold voltage of a memory cell to an erase state which is lower than a first erase verification level. The quick erase operation is performed to set a threshold voltage of a memory cell to a pseudo erase state which is lower than a second erase verification level. The second erase verification level is higher than the first erase verification level.
