Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory string with a first selection transistor, a first memory cell, a second memory cell, and a second selection transistor connected in series. A first word line connects to the first memory cell, and a second word line connects to the second memory cell. Selection gates line are connected to first and second selection transistors. A control circuit is configured to control a write operation on the first memory string. The write operation includes a program loop with a program operation and a program verification operation. After the program loop is completed, a first voltage is applied to the first and second word lines and a second voltage is applied to the selection gate lines. The first voltage is sufficient to turn on the first and second memory cells. The second voltage is sufficient to turn on the selection transistors.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of controlling a write operation of a semiconductor memory device, the method comprising:\n performing a program loop including a program operation and program verification operation executed in series on a first memory cell of a first memory string having a first selection transistor, the first memory cell, a second memory cell, and a second selection transistor connected in series; and after the program loop is completed, applying a first voltage to a first word line connected to a gate of the first memory and a second word line connected to a gate of the second memory cell and a second voltage to a first selection gate line connected to a gate of the first selection transistor and a second selection gate line connected to a gate of the second selection transistor, the first voltage being sufficient to turn on the first and second memory cells, the second voltage being sufficient to turn on the first and second memory cells, the second voltage being sufficient to turn on the first and second selection transistors.
