Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided for operating a nonvolatile memory comprising memory cells stacked on a substrate. The method comprises counting a number of program loops performed in a first program operation of selected memory cells connected to a selected wordline, and controlling an increment of a program voltage between successive program loops of a second program operation of the selected memory cells according to the counted number.
