Abstract

In the operating method of the semiconductor memory device, (1) voltages V1, V2, Vs, and Vd, which satisfy V1>Vs, V1>Vd, V2>Vs, and V2>Vd, are applied to a first gate electrode, a second gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode to write a first resistance value, respectively, (2) the voltages V1, V2, Vs, and Vd, which satisfy V1>Vs, V1>Vd, V2<Vs, and V2<Vd, are applied to write a second resistance value, and (3) the voltages V1, V2, Vs, and Vd, which satisfy V1<Vs, V1<Vd, V2<Vs, and V2<Vd, are applied to write a third resistance value.
