WHAT IS A SEMICONDUCTOR?
7 OF THE 10 LARGEST COMPANIES ARE SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANIES*
-
Semiconductors are the basic materials used in advanced electronics and communications
-
Used to fabricate chips for every electronic device, including computers, cell phones, autonomous vehicles, security cameras, etc.
-
The digital economy is highly reliant on semiconductors
-
7 of the 10 largest companies in the world in 2019 were semiconductor companies*
-
In 2004 semiconductor companies only made up 2 of the top 10 companies

THE MEMORY MARKET
Volatile Non-Volatile ▪ Weebit is targeting both segments of the Non-Volatile memory eFlash market Embedded memory: Weebit’s SRAM ReRAM ▪ Embedded memory modules are Part of an SoC focus MRAM part of a System-on-a-Chip (System-on-a-Chip) ▪ Discrete memory chips are standalone memories Global NVM Market (US$B)[1] Discrete memory Chip: Flash 100 Contains only memory, Weebit’s 82 DRAM ReRAM 60 Integrated on board focus others 2020 2023 2025
There is a strong need for a new memory technology to keep pace with technology developments
SRAM = Static Random Access Memory DRAM = Dynamic Random Access Memory

A MASSIVE “CHINA” OPPORTUNITY
CHINA AIMING TO SIGNIFICANTLY GROW ITS SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY
▪ Semiconductors are the growth enabler of the digital economy
-
Processing, memory and communication technologies are in high demand to keep up with computation and storage requirements of the digital economy
-
China is the largest user of these technologies
-
Boosting its semiconductor industry is a core pillar of its “Made in China 2025” plan; aiming for 80% of semiconductors to be made domestically
-
Despite the progress made, China cannot keep up with market demands (see chart)
-
The majority of China’s semiconductor imports are memories

-
A transition in technology is China’s opportunity to take the lead
-
Memory technologies are now emerging to help the digital economy significantly advance
-
We believe Weebit’s next generation ReRAM technology is very attractive to the Chinese semiconductor industry
