Abstract

An erase method of a nonvolatile memory device includes applying an erase voltage to a substrate; sensing a temperature of a memory cell array; setting a delay time based on the temperature of the memory cell array, wherein the delay time starts in response to the erase voltage being applied to the substrate; applying a ground voltage to a ground selection line connected to a ground selection transistor during the delay time; and increasing a voltage of the ground selection line after the delay time.
