  • Publication number: 20240062826
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor storage device, during an erasing operation, a voltage supplied to at least one of a first wiring and a second wiring is set as a first voltage, and a voltage supplied to a first conductive layer is set as a second voltage. The erasing operation includes a first operation period in which the first voltage is increased from a first reference voltage to a first erase voltage and the second voltage is increased from a second reference voltage to a second erase voltage. In a second operation period of the erasing operation, the first voltage is maintained at the first erase voltage and the second voltage is decreased from the second erase voltage to the second reference voltage (or a first level voltage larger than the second reference voltage) after the first operation period.
