A NAND flash memory includes a semiconductor substrate, a well region in the semiconductor substrate, memory cells connected in series in the well region, a discharge circuit connected to the well region, a word line connected to the memory cells, and a control circuit which controls potentials of the well region and the word line. The control circuit set the well region to a first potential, and set the word line to a second potential lower than the first potential, in an erase operation. The discharge circuit comprises a constant current source with a constant discharge speed independent on a temperature, and discharges the well region after the erase operation.
