Abstract

See full text

A non-volatile semiconductor memory device comprising a control circuit is provided, the control circuit performing a data erasure by applying predetermined erase voltages to predetermined blocks of a memory cell array including memory cells disposed on each intersection of a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines, and the control circuit applying the erase voltages to the memory cells to erase data by applying word line voltages different to each other to even-numbered word lines and odd-numbered word lines of the memory cell array except to an edge part thereof, and by applying a voltage different to the word line voltages to the word line in the edge part of the memory cell array.
