ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, signal lines, and a control unit. Each of the plurality of memory cells includes a charge storage layer. Each of the plurality of memory cells includes a control gate and is configured to hold two-or-higher-level data. Each of signal lines is electrically connected with a gate or one end of a current path of each of the memory cells. Each of signal lines has a line width which differs depending on each interval between the memory cells adjacent to each other. The control unit controls a voltage applied to each of the signal lines in accordance with the line width of each of the signal lines.
