Abstract

According to an embodiment, a circuit in a semiconductor memory device sets threshold voltages of a plurality of memory cells such that two first distributions are formed in a first section on a lowest voltage side in 2N sections. After that, the circuit sets threshold voltages of the plurality of memory cells such that 2(1+M) second distributions are separately formed two by two. The circuit then sets 2N third distributions for the 2N sections.
