Taped-out 22nm demo chip to Global Foundries

During the quarter, Weebit taped-out the first demo chips integrating its embedded ReRAM module to Global Foundries’ 22nm fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) process, also known as 22FDX™. This manufacturing process is one of the industry’s most common process nodes, known for its fine balance between power consumption, performance and cost, and is broadly used for IoT, automotive, AI, MCU and mixed-signal designs. These applications require new embedded NVM technologies as existing embedded flash is not available at this process node.

GlobalFoundries’ Chief Business Officer Mike Hogan said, “The work Weebit and CEA-Leti are doing to make Weebit ReRAM available on GlobalFoundries’ 22FDX is a welcome development as we continue to expand the ecosystem around this platform. Embedded NVM is a key element of our customers’ designs, but since embedded flash is difficult to scale below 28nm, many customers are looking to NVM solutions such as embedded ReRAM.”
