This manuscript presents an investigation of the wordline (WL) and bitline (BL) voltage disturb based on a single floating body random access memory (FBRAM) cell. It is found that several physical mechanisms can disturb the stored charge either fully or partially. The worst cases for disturb are shown and the disturb window for BL and WL are characterized for further operating condition optimization. Moreover, it is shown that in the very dense memory coupling between bitlines or wordlines will spread the disturb even to cells which are not sharing the same BL and WL.
