Abstract

According to an embodiment, a semiconductor memory device has: a memory cell array formed by stacking through insulation layers a plurality of memory mats which each have a plurality of first lines, a plurality of second lines and a plurality of resistance varying memory cells provided at intersection portions of the pluralities of first lines and second lines; and an accessing circuit which applies voltages to the memory cell array. A number of the first lines included in the memory mat is greater than a number of the second lines. When the accessing circuit accesses the selected memory cell, the accessing circuit selects a plurality of first lines and a second line connected to selected memory cells to which the accessing circuit needs to be connected and judges data stored in the selected memory cells according to currents flowing to the selected memory cells.
