Non-volatile semiconductor storage device having control circuit to control voltages to select transistor for erase operation

摘要

A non-volatile semiconductor storage device includes: a memory string including a plurality of memory cells connected in series; a first selection transistor having one end connected to one end of the memory string; a first wiring having one end connected to the other end of the first selection transistor; a second wiring connected to a gate of the first selection transistor. A control circuit is configured to boost voltages of the second wiring and the first wiring in the erase operation, while keeping the voltage of the first wiring greater than the voltage of the second wiring by a certain potential difference. The certain potential difference is a potential difference that causes a GIDL current.
