Abstract

See full text

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes: a memory unit; and a control unit. The memory unit includes: a multilayer structure including electrode films and interelectrode insulating films alternately stacked; a semiconductor pillar piercing the multilayer structure; insulating films and a memory layer provided between the electrode films and the semiconductor pillar; and a wiring connected to the semiconductor pillar. In an erase operation, the control unit performs: a first operation setting the wiring at a first potential and the electrode film at a second potential lower than the first potential during a first period; and a second operation setting the wiring at a third potential and the electrode film at a fourth potential lower than the third potential during a second period after the first operation. A length of the second period is shorter than the first period, and/or a difference between the third and fourth potentials is smaller than a difference between the first and second potentials.
