Abstract
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device, is provided, which comprises a plurality of memory cells capable of electrically writing and erasing data and a voltage control section for controlling a control voltage to be applied to each of the plurality of row lines. The voltage control section comprises a storing section and a voltage output section. The storing section stores the value of the control voltage, which is calculated to permit a threshold voltage distribution to be within a predetermined range, in accordance with the threshold voltage distribution of the plurality of memory cells in each chip. The voltage output section outputs the control voltage having the value stored in the storing section to each of the plurality of row lines.
