Abstract

According to an embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes first and second memory cells and a controller. In a program operation, the controller applies a first voltage to a select gate line at a first timing, applies a second voltage to a select gate line at a second timing, applies a third voltage to a word line at a third timing, and applies a fifth voltage to a word line at a fifth timing. In a program operation when the first memory cell is selected, a time between the second timing and the third timing is a first time. In a program operation when the second memory cell is selected, a time between the second timing and the third timing is a second time different from the first time.
