METHOD OF OPERATING SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

According to one embodiment, a method of operating a semiconductor memory device is disclosed. The method can include storing read-only data in at least one selected from a memory cell of an uppermost layer and a memory cell of a lowermost layer of a plurality of memory cells connected in series via a channel body. The channel body extends upward from a substrate to intersect a plurality of electrode layers stacked on the substrate. The method can include prohibiting a data erase operation of the read-only memory cell having the read-only data stored in the read-only memory cell.
