Summary:A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises multiple memory strings each including a plurality of first and second groups of serially connected memory cells, and a back gate transistor serially connected between the first and second groups of memory cells, a plurality of word lines, each word line being connected to a control gate of a different memory cell in each of the memory strings, a voltage generating circuit configured to generate control voltages of different voltage levels, and a control circuit configured to control application of control voltages to the word lines and the back gate line. A control voltage applied to the back gate line may be varied depending on how far a selected word line is from the back gate line, and a control voltage applied to unselected word lines may be varied depending on how far the unselected word line is from the selected word line.
