Weebit Nano's quarterly report

Weebit develops next-generation memory technology for the global semiconductor industry.

The company's flagship ReRam technology is based on silicon oxide, which makes semiconductor memory elements cheaper, faster and more energy efficient.

The company's report highlighted a key milestone in the development of ReRAM.

In June, Weebit created the industry's first commercial integration of an oxide-based ReRAM (OxRAM) cell with an ovonic threshold switching (OTS).

Weebit also completed its embedded ReRAM memory module. In addition, the company taped-out (released to manufacturing) a test chip that integrates the module.

For the quarter, Weebit reported approximately $2 million in operating cash flow, courtesy of the French Government. Funds were used for research and development and delivered income of $1.8 million for the quarter.

Commenting on the fourth quarter, Weebit Nano CEO Coby Hanoch noted:

"Weebit Nano made significant steps towards productisation and commercialisation during the quarter, achieving key technical milestones within both the embedded and discrete memory markets. The embedded market remains our key priority at this point, and we successfully completed the tape-out of our memory module design in July."

What's the outlook for Weebit?

In its report, Weebit noted that it is focussing on securing its first commercial agreement.

The company highlighted that it is in advanced discussions with multiple potential customers and production partners.

Weebit said that ongoing global semiconductor shortages are impacting the company's ability to enter into a production agreement.

Other key technical priorities include ongoing improvements to Weebit's baseline ReRAM technology.
