    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes first and second memory cells, adjacent first and second word line connected to gates of the first and second memory cells, respectively, a word line driver for the first and second word lines, a bit line connected to the first and second memory cells, a sense amplifier circuit configured to detect data stored in the memory cells via the bit line and apply a voltage to the bit line, and a control circuit configured to control the word line driver and the sense amplifier circuit to execute a write operation. During a write operation performed on the first memory cell to increase a threshold voltage of the first memory cell to a target state, the control circuit changes the bit line voltage of the bit line according to a difference between the target state and a threshold voltage state of the second memory cell.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory according to an embodiment includes first and second memory cells, first and second memory cell arrays, first and second word lines, and controller. The first and second memory cell array include the first and second memory cells, respectively. The first and second word lines are coupled to the first and second memory cells, respectively. Data of six or more bits including a first bit, a second bit, a third bit, a fourth bit, a fifth bit, and a sixth bit is stored with the use of a combination of a threshold voltage of the first memory cell and a threshold voltage of the second memory cell.
