    摘要: According to one embodiment, a method for controlling a semiconductor device comprises determining a select bit number for a group of memory cells each includes a variable-resistance element, setting a first voltage corresponding to the select bit number, applying the set first voltage to the memory cell group, and performing verify read on the memory cell group to which the first voltage has been applied and determining whether or not the memory cell group passes the verify read. If the memory cell group is determined not to pass the verify read, the number of bits corresponding to passed memory cells is subtracted from the select bit number, and the first voltage corresponding to the decreased select bit number is set again.

The second interconnect is non-parallel to the first interconnect. The memory cell includes a resistance change layer provided at an intersection between the first and second interconnects. The control unit is connected to the first and second interconnects to supply voltage and current to the resistance change layer.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a control unit multiple-selects a first line for every N lines from a plurality of first lines. N is an integer greater than or equal to one. The control unit sets the multiple-selected first lines to a selection potential, and fixes potentials of non-selected first lines at least adjacent to the multiple-selected first lines at a first timing. The control unit causes the multiple-selected first lines to be in a floating state at a second timing after the first timing. The control unit selects one second line from the plurality of second lines and sets the one second line to a forming potential at a third timing after the second timing.

    摘要: Nonvolatile semiconductor memory device of an embodiment includes: a memory cell array including a plurality of first and second lines intersecting each other and plural memory cells provided at intersections of the first and second lines and having data written and erased upon application of voltages of the same polarity; and a writing circuit configured to select first and second lines and supply a set or reset pulse to the memory cell through the selected first and second lines. In an erase operation, the writing circuit repeatedly supplies the reset pulse to a selected memory cell until data is erased, by increasing or decreasing voltage level and voltage application time of the reset pulse within a reset region. The reset region, or an aggregate of combinations of voltage level and voltage application time of the reset pulse, is a region where voltage level and voltage application time are negatively correlated.
