A split-gate flash memory cell and a manufacturing method thereof is provided. After a tunnel oxide layer is formed over a substrate, a peak floating gate layer of conducting material is formed over a portion of the tunnel oxide layer. An inter-gate insulating layer and a control gate layer are formed over the peak floating gate layer and then the control gate layer, the inter-gate insulating layer, the peak floating gate layer and the tunnel oxide layer are sequentially etched down to generate a control gate, an inter-gate insulating region, a peak floating gate and a tunnel oxide region. Finally, a source and a drain are defined adjoining the tunnel oxide region by using a self-align technique.
