Weebit Nano Limited (ASX:WBT), a leading developer of advanced
memory technologies for the global semiconductor industry, and
SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology
realization partner, confirm Weebit Resistive Random-Access Memory
(ReRAM) IP has been fully qualified for industrial temperatures
employing SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS (S130) process, including third
party processing.
The full qualification confirms the quality, repeatability and
reliability of Weebit’s embedded ReRAM module, when SkyWater
customers use Weebit’s proven non-volatile memory (NVM) IP in
volume production. The qualification used demo chips produced by
SkyWater which integrate Weebit ReRAM IP. The tests were performed
per the JEDEC industry standards for NVMs which impose rigorous
testing of many silicon die blindly selected from three independent
wafer lots.
All the die successfully passed the entire set of qualification
tests, validating the ReRAM’s suitability for volume production as
embedded IP. The Weebit ReRAM IP was qualified for:
- High endurance: 10K flash-equivalent cycles
- Data retention: 10 years at industrial grade temperatures
- Retention after cycling, exhibiting robust lifetime
performance
- 3x SMT solder reflow cycles
Weebit ReRAM enables companies to create systems on chip (SoC)
designs that are more energy efficient, more reliable, better
secured and lower cost than those using flash or other emerging
NVMs. Weebit ReRAM technology in S130 is an ultra-low power,
radiation tolerant and fast NVM that companies can use in
developing highly integrated SoCs for applications including
analog/mixed-signal, IoT, automotive, industrial, medical and
more.
Coby Hanoch, CEO of Weebit Nano, said:
“Successful qualification of our technology in SkyWater S130
confirms that customers can have confidence that the IP will work
reliably as specified. Together with SkyWater, we are engaged in
numerous customer discussions and anticipate that Weebit ReRAM will
be in design with one or more of these customers during this
calendar year. SkyWater’s technology as-a-service approach is a
great differentiator for customers developing new IP, and its
robust process technologies for mixed-signal designs, rad-hard ICs,
ROICs and power management are an excellent fit for our ReRAM
technology, offering a unique value-add to various markets and
applications.”
Steve Kosier, SkyWater CTO, said: “Our
customers are increasingly looking to integrate NVM in their SoC
designs to embed more intelligence and capabilities in their
next-generation products across a range of markets. Weebit ReRAM is
ideal for many of our customers’ applications, with ultra-low power
consumption, fast access time, excellent reliability even at high
temperatures and tolerance to radiation and electro-magnetic
fields. As a U.S.-based pure-play foundry, SkyWater’s mixed-signal
CMOS platform has been used reliably for billions of devices
to-date, in the automotive, aerospace, industrial and medical
markets. Now with an embedded NVM enabled in our CMOS platform, we
are able to better serve the smart IoT device and edge computing
markets.”
Weebit ReRAM IP in S130Weebit ReRAM IP is an
embedded module with a complete set of EDA views and collateral
compatible with the industry leading design flows to enable smooth
integration by SoC architects. The module in S130 includes a 256Kb
ReRAM array, control logic, decoders, IOs (Input/Output
communication elements) and error correcting code (ECC). Its
scalable, modular design enables customization according to a
customer’s specific design requirements (e.g., memory density, word
size, system interface).
The module is designed with unique patent-pending analog and
digital circuitry running smart algorithms that significantly
enhance the memory array’s technical parameters. Upon request, the
module can be made available as part of a complete subsystem
including a RISC-V microcontroller (MCU), system interfaces, Static
Random-Access Memory (SRAM), and peripherals. Weebit ReRAM can be
easily scaled to other processes.
AvailabilityThe Weebit ReRAM IP module in
SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS process is qualified and available now with
full support in SkyWater’s S130 process design kit (PDK).
