ABSTRACT:
In a flash memory, after an initial write operation ends, each bit line associated with a memory cell subjected to a write is precharged and each bit line associated with a memory cell that is not subjected to the write is discharged and verified to detect a memory cell low in threshold voltage and a memory cell thus detected is subjected to an additional write. The verification can be verified without being affected by a current flowing through the memory cell that is not subjected to the write. All memory cells can have their respective threshold voltages set accurately.
