ABSTRACT:
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a string of memory cells provided for units of a predetermined information storage region and having a plurality of rewritable non-volatile memory cells connected in series. The string of memory cells is divided into a plurality of groups of memory cells. The device further includes a plurality of switching elements each connected in parallel with a corresponding one of the divided groups of memory cells, and a control unit for controlling on/off operations of the plurality of switching elements. Owing to this configuration, even if an invalid block occurs, the memory cells can be utilized effectively as a whole without the need of making the whole block unavailable.
