Abstract
A storage device includes a first group of wirings extending in a first direction, a second group of wirings extending in a second direction, and memory cells between the first and second groups, each including a variable resistance element and a selection element becoming conductive when a voltage greater than a threshold is applied. Va applied across a first cell to be selected satisfies Va>Vd>Vb and Va>Vd>Vc. A first wiring of the first group and a second wiring of the second group are connected to the first cell. A third wiring of the first group and a fourth wiring of the second group are adjacent to the first wiring and the second wiring. Vb, Vc, and Vd are applied across a second cell between the first and fourth wirings, a third cell between the second and third wirings, and a fourth cell between the third and fourth wirings.
