ABSTRACT:
In a state in which a first and second selection gate transistors are turned off and a first voltage is applied to a control gate of a second memory cell transistor which is connected to a source line side of a first memory cell transistor selected from among the memory cell transistors and which is to be cut off, a second voltage which is higher than the first voltage and which causes a plurality of third memory cell transistors remaining unselected in the memory cell transistors to conduct is applied to control gates of the third memory cell transistors, and thereafter a threshold voltage of the first memory cell transistor is changed to a threshold voltage higher than the first threshold voltage corresponding to the erase state by applying a third voltage which is higher than the second voltage to a control gate of the first memory cell transistor.
