Abstract
A semiconductor storage device includes a first word line, a second word line, a first select gate line, a second select gate line, a third select gate line, a fourth select gate line, a first memory pillar including a first memory cell connected to the first word line, a first select transistor connected to the first select gate line, a second memory cell connected to the second word line, and a second select transistor connected to the second select gate line, and a logic control circuit configured to perform a read operation to read threshold voltages of the first and second memory cells, respectively. The logic control circuit independently controls the first to fourth select gate lines during the read operation to turn the select transistors electrically connected to memory cells other than the memory cell to be read to off state.
