Once Weebit’s technology has been qualified, SkyWater will add it to its 130nm process

Weebit worked with CEA-Leti to successfully manufacture the demo wafers, which are now being sliced into chips, packaged, tested, characterised and qualified
Additionally, the company raised $14.8 million through exercising of listed options, while research and distribution (R&D) costs totalled $11.7 million.
The company said the majority of R&D costs are paid in the December quarter, with the total yearly R&D costs reaching $16.1 million.
