Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a verify operation using a first verification voltage and a second verification voltage (first verification voltage<second verification voltage) when first value data is stored in a first memory cell. The controller is configured to determine whether a write operation to the first memory cell is completed or continued based on write data of a second memory cell adjacent to the first memory cell when a threshold voltage of the first memory cell is greater than or equal to the first verification voltage and less than the second verification voltage.
