Abstract

See full text

Plural memory-strings are arranged in each memory-blocks, the memory-strings extending perpendicular to a substrate. Each memory-string includes plural memory-transistors and dummy-transistors connected in series. The drain-side select gate line and source-side select gate line are supplied with a voltage from the control circuit through the transfer-transistors when corresponding one of the memory blocks is selected. The drain-side select gate line and source-side select gate line are set in a floating state by the transfer-transistors that are rendered non-conductive when corresponding one of the memory-blocks is not selected. The dummy word-line is supplied with a voltage from the control circuit through a first transfer-transistor that are rendered conductive when corresponding memory block is selected. The dummy word-line is supplied with a voltage through a second transfer transistor different from the first transfer-transistor when corresponding memory-block is not selected.
