• Weebit’s ReRAM technology licensed by onsemi for its Treo platform
• onsemi is one of the world’s top semiconductor integrated device manufacturers
• Company expects to receive manufacturing licence fees, non-recurring engineering fees and royalties

Special Report: Weebit Nano’s innovative Resistive RAM (ReRAM) technology has started 2025 with a resounding vote of confidence after Tier 1 semiconductor supplier onsemi signed a licensing deal for its use.

Under the licensing agreement, the company’s ReRAM intellectual property will be integrated into US$26.85bn market cap onsemi’s Treo platform to provide embedded non-volatile memory.

Treo is a modular architecture that provides scalable, high-performance analog and mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial, and healthcare uses.

Weebit Nano’s (ASX:WBT) ReRAM integration into a Bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) process – as used by the Treo platform – provides a low-power, cost-effective NVM that has proven excellent retention at high temperatures.

ReRAM is a potential alternative to traditional flash memory, which is showing significant limitations as the demand for faster, more efficient, and scalable memory solutions increases.

Besides being able to scale with the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes – unlike Flash and its inability to scale below 28nm, ReRAM has much lower power consumption, is less vulnerable to common hacking tactics, and can be integrated easily into chip designs without interfering with power or analog components.

Industry recognition

“We are delighted to announce Weebit’s latest commercial agreement with onsemi, one of the world’s top semiconductor integrated device manufacturers,” chief executive officer Coby Hanoch said.

“This agreement is further industry recognition that ReRAM is the non-volatile memory solution best positioned to replace traditional flash storage, with Weebit being a leading independent provider of ReRAM.”

The agreement includes IP licensing, technology transfer, design and qualification of ReRAM in onsemi’s Treo platform.

WBT is required to meet several technical milestones based on an agreed workplan and will receive manufacturing licence fees, non-recurring engineering fees and royalties based on production volumes.

While the economic materiality of the agreement are unknown at this time, it is still strategically important given onsemi’s position in the US semiconductor industry, and the commercial validation it provides for the company’s ReRAM technology.

Royalties from the licensing are also expected to be material over time depending on the number of products that onsemi decides to produce using the technology.
