Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell, a bit line electrically connected to a first end of the memory cell, a source line electrically connected to a second end of the memory cell, a sense amplifier electrically connected to the bit line, and a controller configured to perform a read operation including first and second read operations on the memory cell. During the first read operation, a pre-charge voltage is applied to the bit line and a source line voltage lower than the pre-charge voltage is applied to the source line, and during the second read operation, a first voltage that is greater than the source line voltage and less than the pre-charge voltage is applied to the bit line.
