About Weebit Nano Limited
Weebit Nano Ltd. is a leading developer of next-generation semiconductor memory technology. The company’s ground-breaking Resistive RAM (ReRAM) addresses the growing need for significantly higher performance and lower power memory solutions in a range of new electronic products such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smartphones, robotics, autonomous vehicles, 5G communications and artificial intelligence.
Weebit’s ReRAM allows semiconductor memory elements to be significantly faster, less expensive, more reliable and more energy efficient than those using existing Flash memory solutions. Because it is based on fab-friendly materials, the technology can be quickly and easily integrated with existing flows and processes, without the need for special equipment or large investments.

General Meeting CEO Presentation 22 February 2022
Technology Being Transferred to SkyWater’s Fab
Technology Transfer currently on track
-
The transfer of Weebit’s embedded ReRAM technology to SkyWater’s US production fab is progressing well
-
First prototype tape-out expected to be completed by mid-year, followed by technology qualification
-
Once qualified, SkyWater customers who license Weebit’s technology will be able to embed it within new
-
product designs and mass-produce at SkyWater’s fab
-
Current over-demand for semiconductor products combined with the current COVID-19 situation is causing
some uncertainties Weebit and its suppliers are working hard to minimise any potential impact to Weebit’s qualification schedule
Technology qualification is a major milestone for Weebit’s commercialisation

Background:
-
First manufactured silicon wafers integrating Weebit’s embedded ReRAM module inside a complete subsystem demonstration chip
-
Demo chips enable potential customers to run applications and test Weebit’s technology ahead of commercial orders and volume production
-
Weebit's embedded ReRAM module has been designed with unique patent-pending analog and digital smart circuitry and includes a 128Kb array, control logic, decoders, IOs (input/output communication elements) and error correcting code (ECC)

Successful Demonstration at 28nm
A key step in productising the technology for the embedded memory market
-
Weebit and development partner CEA-Leti demonstrated excellent results of Weebit’s ReRAM technology at 28nm on 300mm wafers
-
A key step towards productisation of embedded Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) for AI, autonomous driving, 5G and advanced IoT
-
Testing showed very good endurance and data retention alongside other production-level parameters
-
The 28nm geometry is very popular and widely used in a range of advanced embedded applications
==> picture [410 x 196] intentionally omitted <==
-
Mark Liu, Chairman of TSMC, the world’s largest fab, recently called 28nm –
- “ ” The sweet spot for our embedded memory applications..
-
Weebit’s ability to support smaller geometries expands its range of potential industries and applications
-
Now looking at porting to smaller geometries

Weebit Nano Proprietary
Secured $35.2m to Accelerate Growth
Introduced major Israeli institutional investors onto the register
-
Raised $35.2 million via a Placement to four Israel-based institutional and pension funds and an Entitlement Offer
-
to existing shareholders
Additional $300K to be invested by 3 directors after EGM approval
- Meitav Dash, a major institutional investment and pension fund in Israel, was the Placement’s cornerstone investor
This was a key milestone, representing the first time international institutional investors joined Weebit’s register
-
The Entitlement Offer for existing shareholders was also oversubscribed
-
Funding to underpin accelerated growth, supporting pursuit of business opportunities, research and development
-
in embedded and discrete projects, and general working capital requirements
