Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano has taped-out demonstration chips integrating its embedded ReRAM module to SkyWater Technology’s foundry. Weebit signed the agreement with SkyWater in September 2021 to transfer its technology to SkyWater's fab.

This is the first tape-out of Weebit's technology to a production fabrication. The technology will be available on SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS process, which is suitable for applications such as analog, power management, automotive, IoT and medical. Weebit says that its chips are designed with unique patent-pending analog and digital smart circuitry running smart algorithms, thereby significantly enhancing the memory array’s technical parameters

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that together with CEA-Leti iit has demonstrated its first operational crossbar arrays that combine its ReRAM technology with a selector.

Weebit says that that is is a key milestone on the company's path to creating standalone memory chips. The company's RRAM crossbar arrays were developed using a 1S1R (one selector one resistor) architecture to enable the higher density needed for discrete chips. Weebit's arrays can be stacked in 3D layers to deliver higher densities.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has received from manufacturing the first silicon wafers that integrate its embedded ReRAM module inside complete subsystem demo chips.

These highly integrated chips will be used for testing, characterization and demonstration to potential customers. Weebit also updates that the transfer of the company's embedded ReRAM technology to SkyWater Technology's production fab is progressing on schedule.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano raised $25.7 million AUD from four Israeli institutional investment and pension funds. The company also announced a pro rata non-renounceable Entitlement Offer to raise a further $9 million AUD.

The company provided shares at $2.84 AUD per share, which represents a 11.5% discount to the last closing price on 8 November 2021.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that together with its partner CEA-Leti, it has demonstrated production-level parameters of its RRAM technology in a 28nm process.

The company says that it has tested, characterized and measured functional 1 Megabit (Mb) ReRAM arrays in a 28nm process technology on 300mm wafers. The testing demonstrated the robustness of Weebit's ReRAM technology with results showing very good endurance and data retention alongside other production-level quality parameters.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano has entered into its first commercial deal with US-based semiconductor foundry SkyWater Technologies. The deal includes a technology transfer agreement and a non-exclusive licensing agreement.

Weebit's ReRAM technology will be transferred to SkyWater’s production fab and then qualified for volume production by the end of 2022.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it completed the design and the tape-out of its first embedded RRAM module. This integrated test-chip will be used as the final platform for testing and qualification, ahead of customer production.

Weebit says that it has used its patent-pending analog and digital smart circuitry to significantly enhance the array's technical parameters, including speed, retention and endurance. The test chip comprises a full sub-system in which the module is embedded, enabling potential customers to use it as a development and prototyping platform for new products such as low-energy IoT devices.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has developed the world's first commercial integration of an oxide-based ReRAM (OxRAM) cell with an ovonic threshold switching (OTS) selector. Weebit says that this is a critical step in the company's commercialization path for the discrete (standalone) memory market (which they hope to achieve by 2024).

The selector is a key element in a memory chip as it enables optimized cell access within the memory array. Weebit developed the technology for the integration together with its development partner CEA-Leti. Weebit says that this technology will broaden its target market beyond embedded memory to include discrete memory technology. In future architectures, the company aims to implement 3D memory stacking and crossbar architectures.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced it has raised $12 million AUD in its recent placement. The company says that its new funds will enable it to accelerate its commercialisation initiatives, including strengthening its technology, engineering and sales teams and increasing marketing activities in the embedded memory market. A non-underwritten share purchase plan to raise up to $3 million will be offered to eligible shareholders on the same terms as the Placement.

Weebit says it remains on track to achieve its first commercial agreement by mid-2021. Weebit Nano will also be able to accelerate the next phase of standalone memory development across both the technical and commercial aspects to fast track deployment, whilst also developing the next generation of its neuromorphic demo.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced it has raised $6.6 million AUD via a two-tranche placement. The funds will be used to complete its memory module development, transfer the technology to a production fab and continue its work on discrete RRAM memory technology.

Weebit says that the placement was priced at a discount of around 22% to its current share price. The company now hopes to accelerate its development work and make up lost time from the COVID-19 shutdown.
