Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment comprises: a nonvolatile memory cell and a control circuit. The control circuit executes: a first write operation that performs a write on the memory cell using a first write voltage; a first verify operation that determines whether a threshold voltage of the memory cell exceeds a first threshold value due to the first write operation, or not; a second verify operation that re-determines on the memory cell that has passed the first verify operation whether the threshold voltage exceeds the first threshold value, or not; and a second write operation that performs a write on the memory cell that has not passed the second verify operation, using a second write voltage.
