Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory blocks configured to include memory cells, a voltage supply circuit configured to supply an erase voltage for an erase operation of a memory block selected from the memory blocks and supply an erase verify voltage and an erase pass voltage for an erase verify operation of the memory block selected from the memory blocks, and a control logic configured to group word lines per specific word lines, when the erase verify operation for the selected memory block is performed, and control the voltage supply circuit so that one or more of the erase verify voltage and the erase pass voltage rise whenever the erase verify operation is performed.
