The invention provides a method of manufacturing a flash memory device. Nitride film spacers are formed on sidewalls of protruded isolation films. A recess is formed in a semiconductor substrate by a self-aligned etch process using the nitride film spacers as masks. It is therefore possible to form a uniform recess over the entire wafer. Furthermore, a floating gate is formed on the semiconductor substrate including the recess in a self-aligned manner. Accordingly, a contact area between the floating gate and the semiconductor substrate can be increased as large as a recess surface area.
