A method for manufacturing a NAND flash memory is provided. First, a substrate is provided. Next, a tunneling dielectric layer, a first conductive layer and a mask layer are sequentially formed on the substrate. Next, a plurality of isolation structures is formed in the mask layer, the first conductive layer, the tunneling dielectric layer and the substrate. Next, the mask layer is removed, so that the top surface of each isolation structure is higher than that of the first conductive layer. Next, a second conductive layer is formed on the exposed sidewalls of the isolation structures. Next, an inter-gate dielectric layer and a third conductive layer are sequentially formed on the substrate.
