Abstract: When selectively erasing one sub-block, a control circuit applies, in a first sub-block, a first voltage to bit lines and a source line, and applies a second voltage smaller than the first voltage to the word lines. Then, the control circuit applies a third voltage lower than the first voltage by a certain value to a drain-side select gate line and a source-side select gate line, thereby performing the erase operation in the first sub-block. The control circuit applies, in a second sub-block existing in an identical memory block to the selected sub-block, a fourth voltage substantially identical to the first voltage to the drain side select gate line and the source side select gate line, thereby not performing the erase operation in the second sub-block.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes: a first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer adjacent to the first conductive layer. Write loops each include: a first program operation that applies the first conductive layer with a program voltage and applies a bit line with a first bit line voltage; and a second program operation that applies the first conductive layer with the program voltage and applies the bit line with a second bit line voltage larger than the first bit line voltage. The write operation includes a state judging operation that judges whether a memory cell corresponding to the semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer has been controlled to a Low-state, or not. When the memory cell has been controlled to the Low-state, the first program operation is executed, and when the memory cell has not been controlled to the Low-state, the second program operation is executed.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a first to eighth memory cell groups arranged along a first direction, a first word line extending in the first direction and a first to an eighth sense amplifier groups configured to be capable of supplying voltages to the first to the eighth memory cell groups, respectively. Each of the first to the eighth memory cell groups includes a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of bit lines each connected to the plurality of memory cells. In a write operation of supplying a program voltage to the first word line, the first sense amplifier group supplies a first voltage to the bit line connected to a write target memory cell of the first memory cell group, and the second sense amplifier group supplies a second voltage to the bit line connected to a write target memory cell of the second memory cell group.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes i first word lines connected to the i first memory cells, i second word lines connected to the i second memory cells, a driver capable of supplying voltage to each of the i first word lines and each of the i second word lines, and a logic control circuit controlling both a write operation including a verify operation and a read operation including a verify operation. In the semiconductor memory device, when an order of performing a sense operation for determining whether or not a threshold voltage of the k-th first memory cell has reached a j-th threshold voltage in the verify operation is different from that of in the read operation, a voltage applied to the k-th first word line in the verify operation is different from a voltage applied to the k-th first word line in the read operation.
