NONVOLATILE MEMORY APPARATUS AND VERIFICATION WRITE METHOD THEREOF FOR REDUCING PROGRAM TIME

A non-volatile memory apparatus may include a program current generation circuit, a clamping circuit and a voltage generation circuit. The program current generation circuit may increase a program current based on a memory cell current flowing through a memory cell. The clamping circuit may clamp the memory cell current. The voltage generation circuit may apply a voltage corresponding to a verification-write voltage to the memory cell. Therefore, the verification-write operation may be performed to the memory cell.
