Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method of controlling a memory device includes supplying a second potential having a first value to a second electrode and simultaneously, or thereafter, supplying a third potential to a third electrode, and thereafter stopping supply of the third potential such that the potential of the third electrode decays while reducing the potential of the second electrode, and thereafter supplying a first potential to the first electrode.
