Abstract
A semiconductor memory device comprises a bit line and source line, a first memory cell and first and second transistors connected therebetween, a second memory cell and third and fourth transistors connected therebetween, and first through fifth wirings connected to the first and the second memory cells and gate electrodes of the first to the fourth transistors. At a first timing of a read operation, voltages of the first through third wirings are larger than voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings. At a second timing, voltages of the second and third wirings are larger than voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings. At a third timing, voltages of the fourth and fifth wirings are larger than their voltages at the second timing. At a fourth timing, voltages of the second and third wirings are larger than a voltage of the fourth wiring.
