Abstract
According to one embodiment, provided is a semiconductor storage device that includes a control circuit to control the voltage that is applied to the memory cell. The control circuit is configured to execute a reset operation that applies a reset voltage of a first polarity to a selected memory cell that is connected to a selected first wire and a selected second wire during a reset operation. The control circuit is configured to execute a cancel operation that applies a cancel voltage of a second polarity that is opposite to the first polarity to an unselected memory cell and at the same time can execute a verify operation that reads out the state of the selected memory cell by applying a readout voltage of the second polarity to the selected memory cell. The cancel voltage and the readout voltage are the same voltage value.
