Nonvolatile memory devices are provided including a memory cell array having a plurality of stacked memory layers and a rectifier configured to select memory cells constituting each memory layer sharing a word line or a bit line with another adjacent memory layer. The nonvolatile memory devices including a word line driving unit configured to drive a first word line, connected to a first memory cell of a first memory layer to be read, at a first voltage level and drive a second word line, connected to a second memory cell of a second memory layer sharing a first bit line connected to the first memory cell, at a second voltage level. The nonvolatile memory device further includes a bit line biasing unit configured to bias the first bit line at the second voltage level and bias a second bit line, connected to a third memory cell of a third memory layer sharing the first word line, at the first voltage level. Related methods and systems are also provided herein.
A nonvolatile memory device including a memory cell array having a plurality of stacked memory layers and a rectifier configured to select memory cells constituting each memory layer sharing one of a word line and a bit line, but not both, with another adjacent memory layer, the nonvolatile memory device comprising:
A method of reading in a nonvolatile memory device, the nonvolatile memory device including a memory cell array having a plurality of stacked memory layers each having a first conductive line having a first direction, a second conductive line having a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a memory cell at an intersection between the first conductive line and the second conductive line, and sharing one of the first and second conductive line, but not both, with an adjacent memory layer, the method of reading comprising:
A memory system comprising:
