Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor storage device includes a first channel layer including a first drain-side select transistor, a first source-side select transistor, and a first memory cell transistor, a second channel layer including a second drain-side select transistor, a second source-side select transistor, and a second memory cell transistor, a word line that functions as a gate electrode of the first and second memory cell transistors, and a controller. When a read operation is executed on the first memory cell transistor, the controller turns on the second drain-side select transistor and the second source-side select transistor, supplies a first voltage to the word line in a state where the first drain-side select transistor and the first source-side select transistor are turned off, and then, supplies a second voltage to the word line in a state where the first drain-side select transistor and the first source-side select transistor are turned on.
