Abstract
A semiconductor storage device includes lower and upper bit lines, word lines between the bit lines, and memory cells between the bit lines and the word lines. The memory cells are divided into logical slices and a memory cell from each logical slice is selected when carrying out a read or write operation. A first logical slice includes memory cells, each of which is between one of two bit lines and one of three word lines that are adjacent to each other. The two bit lines include one lower bit line and one upper bit line. A second logical slice includes memory cells, each of which is between one of three bit lines and one of three word lines that are not adjacent to each other. The three bit lines include one lower bit line and two upper bit lines.
