There is provided a method of erasing a nonvolatile semiconductor storage having a floating gate electrode with a constant threshold voltage of a memory cell transistor after an erasing operation and further with high security of superior repeat characteristics of a writing and an erasing operation and voltages free of miss-writing. On the erasing operation, a p-type semiconductor substrate is made into an earth ground, a drain is made into a floating potential and continuous pulses of negative high voltage of which parameters of multiplying pulse intervals by applying pulse numbers is 0.1 seconds or more are applied to a control gate electrode to perform intermittently the Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling of electrons from a floating gate electrode to the p-type semiconductor substrate.
