An integrated circuit includes first and second gate stacks located over a dielectric layer that is in turn disposed over a semiconductor substrate. Each gate stack includes a floating gate located on the dielectric layer and a control gate located over the floating gate. A first select gate electrode is located on a side of the first gate stack and a second select gate electrode is located on a side of the second gate stack. The first and second select gate electrodes have adjacent sidewalls, each adjacent sidewall having a rounded top corner. The gate stacks may be portions of a split gate memory cell.
