Reference excerpt

Weebit Nano is a public semiconductor IP company founded in Israel in 2015 and headquartered in Hod HaSharon, Israel. The company develops Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM or RRAM) technologies. Resistive Random-Access Memory is a specialized form of non-volatile memory (NVM) for the semiconductor industry. The company's products are targeted at a broad range of NVM markets where persistence, performance, and endurance are all required. ReRAM technology can be integrated in electronic devices like wearables, Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints, smartphones, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and 5G cellular communications, among other products. Weebit Nano's IP can be licensed to semiconductor companies and semiconductor fabs. Initial productization began with embedded ReRAM products (memory arrays embedded in Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) and will eventually be expanded to include discrete ReRAM products built into individual chip packages.

History The company began as a startup in Israel in 2015, founded on the roots of research and patents developed by Professor James Tour of Rice University, with a primary goal of productizing this ReRAM technology. In 2016 the company successfully merged with Radar Iron of Australia, giving the merged entity the Weebit Nano name trading on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol WBT. In 2016 Weebit Nano and CEA-Leti signed a memory development partnership agreement for the development of ReRAM technologies. Since then, Weebit Nano has been working closely with CEA-Leti on further developments and enhancements to its base ReRAM technologies, where Weebit Nano has commercialization rights to their joint developments. In November 2020 the Weebit/Leti partnership was extended to include further enhancements to Weebit's ReRAM technology, further development of its embedded memory module, and development of a selector for the stand-alone memory market. In November 2018, Weebit announced it was working with the NonVolatile Memory Research Group of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) on a project to research the use of Weebit's ReRAM technology for certain types of neuromorphic applications – used for artificial intelligence. In January 2019, Weebit announced its collaboration with a team at the Polytechnic University of Milan, to test, characterize and implement its developed algorithms using Weebit's ReRAM. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the capability of ReRAM-based hardware in neuromorphic and artificial intelligence applications. In February 2019, Weebit and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology announced a collaboration to examine the possible use of ReRAM devices in a novel computing architecture that could speed up processing, memory transfer rate and memory bandwidth and decrease processing latency – while using less power. In December 2019, XTX Technology and Weebit, verified the technical parameters of Weebit's ReRAM array in XTX's own labs. XTX successfully confirmed measurements on Weebit's NVM that were previously achieved at French research institute Leti. In February 2020, Weebit signed a Letter of intent with SiEn (QingDao) Integrated Circuits Co., Ltd. (SiEn) to jointly investigate ways in which Weebit's technology can be used in SiEn's products. In October 2020, Weebit, together with Leti, completed its technology stabilization process so that its technology is now ready for transfer to a production fab. In September 2021, Weebit and SkyWater Technology announced an agreement to take Weebit's ReRAM to volume production. As part of the agreement, SkyWater has licensed Weebit's ReRAM technology to use as embedded Non-Volatile Memory in customer designs. In September 2021, Weebit, together with Leti, produced, tested and characterized fully functional 1 Mb ReRAM arrays in a 28 nm FDSOI process on 300mm wafers. Weebit demonstrated its ReRAM IP module publicly for the first time in June 2022. Also in June, Weebit taped out demo chips integrating its embedded ReRAM module to SkyWater Technology's foundry. This was followed in November 2022 with Weebit receiving from SkyWater the first production wafers incorporating its embedded ReRAM technology from Skywater -- the first time silicon wafers of Weebit ReRAM have been received from a production fab. In March 2023, Weebit and SkyWater announced availability of Weebit's first commercially available ReRAM IP product. The IP in SkyWater's S130 process targets applications in automotive, defense and beyond. Weebit and SkyWater confirmed in June 2023 that Weebit ReRAM IP has been fully qualified for industrial temperatures employing SkyWater's 130nm CMOS (S130) process. In October 2023, foundry DB HiTek licensed Weebit ReRAM for use in its customers' designs. Weebit ReRAM will be available in DB HiTek's 130nm BCD process. Weebit and Efabless Corp. announced a collaboration in May 2024 giving Efabless chipIgnite customers access to Weebit's ReRAM to incorporate into design prototypes manufactured using SkyWater Technology's 130nm CMOS (S130) process. Weebit licensed its ReRAM technology to tier-1 semiconductor supplier onsemi in January 2025. The Weebit ReRAM IP will be integrated into the onsemi Treo platform to provide embedded NVM. Weebit signed a design license agreement with its first product customer, a US-based company that plans to incorporate Weebit's technology into select security-related applications. In December 2025, Texas Instruments (TI) licensed Weebit ReRAM for embedded processing semiconductors in advanced process nodes. In March 2026, Weebit ReRAM was selected for use in a project funded by the Republic of Korea's government aimed at advancing ultra-low-power analog compute in memory (ACiM) technology for AI applications.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Weebit Nano

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Weebit Nano claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Weebit Nano before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Weebit Nano ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Weebit Nano

In research: Weebit Nano appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Weebit Nano in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Weebit Nano is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, Computer hardware companies, Computer memory companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Weebit Nano outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
