Non-volatile semiconductor memory device allowing fast verifying operation

摘要

A bit line reset transistor resets every second bit line of a plurality of bit lines to be write-verified. At this time, a transfer gate disconnects a column latch from the unreset bit line. Then, the unreset bit line is precharged in accordance with data of the column latch, while applying a verify voltage to a word line. Then, a source line transistor grounds a source line, and the bit line is connected to the column latch, so that data corresponding to a value of a threshold voltage of the memory cell is held by the column latch, and a write verifying operation is performed.
