Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a driver that, in a write operation, applies a first voltage to a first select gate line, applies a second voltage lower than the first voltage to a second select gate line, applies a third voltage equal to or higher than the first voltage to a first dummy word line on an uppermost layer, applies a fourth voltage different from the third voltage and higher than the second voltage to a second dummy word line on an uppermost layer, applies a fifth voltage equal to or higher than the third voltage to a first dummy word line on a lowermost layer, and applies a sixth voltage different from the fifth voltage and equal to or higher than the fourth voltage to a second dummy word line on a lowermost layer.
