Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell array having plural electrically erasable memory cells including a gate, a source, a drain, and an electric charge accumulation layer each disposed in a matrix form. A data writing section writes data into memory cells in this memory cell array. A data reading section reads out data in memory cells of the memory cell array. A data erasing section erases data in memory cells of the memory cell array. A control section controls, when applying a first signal to the gate in a specified memory inhibited of writing and applying a second signal to a node capacitively coupled to at least one of source and drain, in writing data into the memory cells, so that the second signal may fall later than the first signal.
