Abstract: In a semiconductor memory device, in a write operation performed to a memory cell transistor, a first voltage is applied to a first word line and a second voltage lower than the first voltage is applied to a second word line. When a command to stop is received during the write operation, a third voltage lower than the second voltage is applied to the first and second word lines, thereafter a fourth voltage higher than the third voltage is applied to a first selection line, thereon or thereafter a fifth voltage higher than the fourth voltage is applied to the first and second word lines, thereafter a sixth voltage lower than the fourth voltage is applied to the first selection line, and thereafter a seventh voltage is applied to the first and second word lines.

Abstract: A semiconductor storage device includes: a first memory cell and a second memory cell that are adjacent to each other and connected to each other in series; a first word line connected to the first memory cell; a second word line connected to the second memory cell; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to, in a first read operation to read a first bit stored in the first memory cell, apply a first voltage to the first word line, and then, apply a first read voltage lower than the first voltage, to the first word line, and apply a second voltage to the second word line, and then, apply a third voltage lower than the second voltage and higher than the first voltage, to the second word line. The third voltage is applied to the second word line after the first read voltage is applied to the first word line.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a bit line and source line, a first memory cell and first and second transistors connected therebetween, a second memory cell and third and fourth transistors connected therebetween, and first through fifth wirings connected to the first and the second memory cells and gate electrodes of the first to the fourth transistors. At a first timing of a read operation, voltages of the first through third wirings are larger than voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings. At a second timing, voltages of the second and third wirings are larger than voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings. At a third timing, voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings are larger than their voltages at the second timing. At a fourth timing, voltages of the second and third wirings are larger than a voltage of the fourth wiring.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a decoder circuit, a voltage supply circuit, and a control circuit. The voltage supply circuit is configured to generate a first voltage supplied to the decoder circuit, a second voltage supplied to a select gate line, and a third voltage supplied to a word line. The control circuit, during a read operation with respect to a memory cell transistor, starts a first control operation on the voltage supply circuit to boost the first voltage to a first target voltage, during the first control operation, starts a second control operation to boost the second voltage, and during the second control operation, starts a third control operation to boost the third voltage. During the first control operation, the first voltage is increased to and maintained at an intermediate voltage lower than the first target voltage for a certain period of time.
