First, the first cell is selected as a target cell, wherein the second cell has been programmed to have data. Next, the second cell is read and the data is recorded in a register. Then, the target cell is programmed. Next, a program verifying operation is performed on the second cell. Afterwards, the data recorded in the register is programmed back to the second cell when the program verifying operation performed on the second cell fails.
