GlobalFoundries announced the availability of its 22FDX+ with RRAM technology. The new RRAM technology, according to GlobalFoundires, delivers secure, low-latency, high-density embedded memory for code storage for wireless microcontrollers and AI IoT applications.

GF’s embedded RRAM offers cost-effective memory with low power read/write, high endurance and excellent retention. On-chip integration with GF’s enhanced 22FDX platform delivers improved data retention, reliability, security and power efficiency, creating compact and versatile system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for intelligent, connected devices. 

RRAM Developer Weebit Nano announced a partnership with Embedded AI Systems (EMASS), a pioneer in ultra-low-power AI computing. The two companies are collaborating to demonstrate the advantages of RRAM technology for edge AI applications.

Weebit says that the combination of its RRAM technology with EMASS’ ultra-low power AI SoC, at a 22nm process node, aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce power consumption, and enable instant system wake-up for AI-driven applications, unlocking new capabilities in edge computing.

RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has licensed its RRAM memory technology to onsemi, a tier-1 semiconductor supplier.

Under the terms of the agreement, Weebit ReRAM IP will be integrated into onsemi’s Treo platform, to provide embedded non-volatile memory (NVM). Weebit ReRAM integration into a Bipolar CMOS, DMOS (BCD) process provides a low-power, cost-effective NVM that has proven excellent retention at high temperatures.

RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has raised $50 million AUD (about $32.4 million USD) through a strongly supported underwritten placement to institutional investors.

The company says that funds will be used to expand the company’s commercialization activities, support new customer and partner agreements, and accelerate the development of its cutting-edge RRAM technology.

In October 2023 RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with DB HiTek, a Korean-based foundry (said to be one of the world's top 10 foundries). The commercial agreement includes technology transfer, qualification and licensing.

Yesterday Weebit announced together with DB HiTek that it has taped-out (released to manufacturing) a demonstration chip integrating Weebit’s embedded RRAM module in DB HiTek’s 130nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process. The highly integrated demo chips will be used for testing and qualification ahead of customer production, while demonstrating the performance and robustness of Weebit’s technology.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced a new partnership with Efabless, a creator platform for semiconductor chips, to enable faster and more cost-effective prototype creation of new System-on-Chip (SoC) designs using Weebit’s RRAM technology.

The agreement provides Efabless’ thousands of users and customers with access to Weebit’s IP, which can be incorporated into their designs manufactured using SkyWater Technology Foundry’s 130nm CMOS process. Weebit’s RRAM technology is already proven and qualified up to 125C in SkyWater Technology’s US production fab.

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has received the first wafers integrating its
embedded RRAM memory manufactured in GlobalFoundries’ 22FDX platform. Initial tests of the wafers in this advanced 22nm FD-SOI (fully depleted silicon on insulator) are showing positive results on the array.

Weebit says that these are the first wafers with Weebit ReRAM manufactured in 22nm, one of the industry’s most
steadfast process nodes, and a geometry where embedded flash is not viable. 

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano announced that it has received its first IP licensing revenue for its embedded ReRAM technology.

This initial licensing fee is $100,000. Weebit’s plan is to generate revenues from foundries and product companies in three main ways: licensing fees for design and manufacture; engineering fees for designs and processes; and royalties for use by customers, which will be received once customers begin shipping end products.
