A memory unit includes a substrate and a floating gate memory cell. The floating gate memory cell includes an erase gate structure disposed on the substrate, floating gate structures select gates, a common source and drains. The common source is disposed in the substrate, and the erase gate structure is disposed on the common source. The floating gate structures protrude from recesses of the substrate at two opposite sides of the erase gate structure. A method for controlling the memory unit includes applying an erase gate programming voltage on the erase gate structure, applying a control gate programming voltage on the common source, applying a bit line programming voltage on the drains, and applying word line programming voltage on the select gates, in which the control gate programming voltage is greater than the erase gate programming voltage.
