According to one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided. The semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided with a plurality of booster circuits, a regulator and a plurality of switches. Each of the booster circuit receives an input voltage, boosts the input voltage, and generates a boosted voltage having a different value. The regulator is capable of generating a plurality of dropped voltages by dropping each boosted voltage from the booster circuits. The switches are connected between the booster circuits and the regulator. The switches provide the boosted voltages outputted from the booster circuits selectively to the regulator as a power-supply voltage.

Data read out from each memory cell in a memory cell array is compared with an expected value by a comparator, and the quality of a memory cell is determined by performing program verify and erase verify. Based on the comparison result of the comparator, a detected defective cell is repaired by replacing it with a spare cell. Every time a defective cell is replaced with a spare cell, information on the defective cell is stored in a register, and whether a defective cell exists and whether the repair is possible are determined on the basis of the information. When the repair is possible, a control circuit is caused to execute control, and a detected defective cell is repaired by replacing it with a spare cell. When the repair is impossible, the defect repair stops.

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array with a block including word lines, and each word line connected to memory cells, a controller which controls a data erase of the memory cells in the block, and a verify circuit which verifies whether or not the data erase is completed. The controller comprises being executed a verification by the verify circuit after being executed a first block erase in a predetermined condition, being executed a second block erase continuously when the number of memory cells which are judged by the verification as a completion of the data erase is n (n is a natural number) or less, and being executed a page erase continuously when the number of memory cells which are judged by the verification as a completion of the data erase is more than n.

A semiconductor memory device comprises: a write circuit including a latch circuit configured by two inverters having a positive side power supply terminal supplied with a first voltage and a negative side power supply terminal supplied with a second voltage; and a write state machine controlling the first and second voltages. When writing data to a memory cell, the first voltage is changed to a second value that is lower than a first value. When writing data to a memory cell, the second voltage is changed to a third value that is lower than the second value. The write state machine lowers the second voltage to an intermediate value between the second value and the third value and, while maintaining this intermediate value, lowers the first voltage from the first value to the second value.
