ABSTRACT:
A NAND type flash memory includes first to third memory cell transistors having current paths connected in series between one end of a current path of each of first and second selection transistors, and each having a control gate and a charge storage layer, the first and second memory cell transistors being adjacent to the first and second selection transistors, the third memory cell transistor being positioned between the first and second memory cell transistors, the third memory cell transistor holding data having not less than three bits, the first memory cell transistor holding 2-bit data in which middle and upper pages is written by skipping a lower page, and a lower page verify voltage being set when writing the middle page, and a middle page verify voltage is set when writing the upper page, changing a position of a threshold distribution of the first memory cell transistor.
