The Challenge

Flash technology cells physically cannot be scaled down any further without a

rapid deterioration in reliability

At the same time, world memory storage use is growing exponentially

(doubling every two years) and desperate for a higher performance memory

device

Weebit’s solution

A quantum leap that will allow semiconductor memory

elements to store data at much higher densities, while also

being cheaper, faster, more reliable and more

energy efficient than existing Flash technology, and other

emerging ReRam technologies.

Peer Comparison – ASX:FRY (4D-S) • 4D-S memory element named MOHJO™: Metal Oxide Hetero Junction

• The metal material is made of different oxidized metals - Pr (Praseodymium), Ca (Calcium) and Mn( Manganese)

• The Pr, Ca and Mn are not used in the semiconductor industry and may have CMOS compatability issues *

• 4D-S On-Off ratio is 4 magnitude (10,000 times) of order lower than Weebit

• 10^3 Vs 10^7 * Compared to Silicon Oxide, metals fabrication is challenging and may cause severe electromigration and diffusion problems which require complicated diffusion barrier layers.

Peer Comparison – ASX:SOR • SOR strategic elements - nano cube memory cell made from Cerium

oxide CeO2 (Ceria)

• Cerium is rare earth mineral which is rarely used in the semiconductor and memory space, and would require costly industry-wide retooling to become widely adopted.

• SOR on-off ratio is 3 magnitude of order (1,000 times) lower than Weebit

(10^4 Vs 10^7)

SOR‘s main focus is inkjet printing technology and transparent electronics research, and is far from any practical memory application

Peer Comparison - Crossbar

• Crossbar‘s memory element is made from silver - one of the most expensive metals in the semiconductor industry

• Weebit uses Silicon Oxidation which is the simplest, most reproducible and cost effective process in the semiconductor industry

• Corssbar on-off ratio is 4 magnitude of order lower than Weebit

– 10^3 Vs 10^7

• As an example, the semiconductor industry previously spent huge resources to migrate from the expensive gold wires to

copper wires, in order to reduce cost

Peer Comparison - Viking • Viking is specializing in DRAM and systems and buys ReRAM from Sony

• Sony ReRAM memory element is made of Copper Tellurium alloy; Tellurium is a rare and expensive element (1-5 parts per Billion in the earth's crust)

• Weebit‘s use of Silicon oxide is the most effective way to implement the ReRAM manufacturing process

* There is growing demand for Tellurium in Solar panels, thus it is likely to become even more expensive.

ReRAM Technology

What is ReRAM

An emerging non-volatile Memory that changes its resistance across

a special dielectric material (the Secret source)

In order to construct a binary language:

• Set voltage is applied to create low resistance – logic “1

• Reset Voltage is applied to create high resistance – logic “0”

Unlike Flash which confines electrons in a small trap the ReRAM

principle is based on a material resistance change

ReRAM can be stacked in 3D array to provide unlimited capacity

Weebit’s ReRAM Technology Advantage

Professor Tour developed a breakthrough ReRAM technology transforming

Silicon Oxide (SiOx) into a memory element

Made of SiOx

Fab friendly - Silicon is the most studied and produced material in the

semiconductor industry

Cheap - Lower manufacturing costs, higher yield

Scalable - SiOx can be easily scaled and packed into a large 3D memory array

Improved performance

Extremely High On-Off ratio - allows multi-bit capability

Unipolar structure allows higher scalability than ReRAM alternatives

Energy efficiency- Lower power consumption, increased battery life

“Hard Rad” - Radiation hardness class

Hard-Rad certified after demonstrating 2 years operation in space For

Spacecraft Single Event Environments at High

Shielding Mass (HiMassSEE)

Powerful computers are essential to space technology

However, power is less of an issue than the ability to maintain coherence in hostile space environments

Coherence and reliability is particularly crucial for satellite circuitry and long term space missions

Weebit’s devices were sent to space and exposed to radioactive solar and cosmic rays radiation for 2 years

Weebit’s memory devices worked without degradation or loss of performance
