US Patent 7839694 Nonvolatile memory devices and data reading methods

Methods of reading memory cell data and nonvolatile memory devices, which apply a low voltage to memory cells adjacent to a memory cell from which data may be read are provided. Methods of reading memory cell data of nonvolatile memory device include applying a first voltage to a control gate of a read memory cell from among the plurality of memory cells, applying a third voltage to control gates of memory cell adjacent to the read memory cell, and applying a second voltage to control gates of memory cells other than the read memory cell and the adjacent memory cells.
