Abstract: A control circuit of a semiconductor memory device performs a write operation on a memory cell transistor of the semiconductor memory device by performing a first pulse application operation of lowering a threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor, a precharge operation, and then a second pulse application operation. In the precharge operation, in a state in which first and second select transistors connected to the memory cell transistor are turned on, a bit line connected to the memory cell transistor is charged by applying a ground voltage to a word line connected to a gate of the memory cell transistor and applying a voltage higher than the ground voltage to a source line. In the second pulse application operation, in a state in which the first select transistor is turned on and the second select transistor is turned off, a program voltage is applied to the word line.

Abstract: In performing a read operation of a memory transistor, a control circuit supplies a first voltage to a selected word line connected to a selected memory transistor. A second voltage is supplied to a non-selected word line connected to a non-selected memory transistor other than the selected memory transistor, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage. A third voltage is supplied to a bit line. A fourth voltage lower than the third voltage is supplied to, among source lines, a selected source line connected to a memory string including the selected memory transistor in a selected memory block. A fifth voltage substantially the same as the third voltage is supplied to, among the source lines, a non-selected source line connected to a non-selected memory string in the selected memory block.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate, memory strings formed above the semiconductor substrate, and a control circuit configured to control voltages applied to the memory cells. In a read operation, when the control circuit precharges a first source line electrically connected to a selected memory string to a first voltage, the control circuit precharges a second source line electrically connected to an unselected memory string to a second voltage, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage, and after the second source line is precharged, the control circuit precharges a first bit line electrically connected to the selected memory string to the second voltage.
