Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes memory cells, a word line, bit lines, and a controller. The word line is connected to the memory cells. Each of the lines is connected to the memory cells. In a program operation, while applying a program voltage to the word line, the controller applies a first voltage to a bit line connected to memory cells to which a first data is to be written, applies a second voltage lower than the first voltage to a bit line connected to memory cells to which a second data is to be written, and applies a third voltage lower than the second voltage to a bit line connected to memory cells to which a third data is to be written.

Claim (Index 9):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein\n the plurality of memory cells is set to have a fourth threshold voltage higher than the third threshold voltage in a case of storing fourth data as the plurality of bits of data, set to have a fifth threshold voltage higher than the fourth threshold voltage in a case of storing fifth data as the plurality of bits of data, set to have a sixth threshold voltage higher than the fifth threshold voltage in a case of storing sixth data as the plurality of bits of data, and set to have a seventh threshold voltage higher than the sixth threshold voltage in a case of storing seventh data as the plurality of bits of data, and in the program, while applying the first program voltage, the controller applies a fourth voltage lower than the third voltage to bit lines connected to memory cells to which the fourth data is to be written, applies a fifth voltage lower than the fourth voltage to bit lines connected to memory cells to which the fifth data is to be written, applies a sixth voltage lower than the fifth voltage to bit lines connected to memory cells to which the sixth data is to be written, and applies a seventh voltage lower than the sixth voltage to bit lines connected to memory cells to which the seventh data is to be written.
