In writing, a first write operation to a first memory cell is executed; and a second write operation for providing a first threshold-voltage distribution to a second memory cell adjacent to the first one, is executed. The first threshold voltage distribution is a lowest threshold-voltage distribution among the positive threshold voltage distributions. It is verified whether a desired threshold voltage distribution has been obtained in the first memory cell or not (first write verify operation), moreover, it is verified whether a first threshold voltage distribution or a threshold voltage distribution having a voltage level larger than the first threshold-voltage distribution has been obtained in the second memory cell or not (second write verify operation). A control circuit outputs results of the first write verify operation and the second write verify operation. |
