ABSTRACT:
If data is read from a selected memory cell at the time of overwrite verifying, a potential of a bit line is changed in accordance with data. If a transistor is turned on, a latch circuit is set in accordance with data of the bit line. In a case where there is a memory cell being in an overwrite state, data of the selected memory cell is latched to the latch circuit, and data corresponding to one page is erased. Thereafter, a normally writing operation is executed by data latch to the latch circuit, thereby the memory cell being in the overwrite state can be used as a normal threshold voltage.
