Everspin to develop MRAM macro for US space – update
Everspin Technologies is to develop a radiation hard macro of its Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) persistent memory for space applications.
The $9.25m contract with Frontgrade Technologies will see Arizona-based Everspin provide its PERSYST embedded MRAM technology, logic design, and back-end-of-line manufacturing services, These will be used for the development and demonstration of a Strategic Radiation Hardened (SRH) high-reliability eMRAM macro for use in future products by Frontgrade made at Skywater.

“Everspin is pleased to work with Frontgrade on a custom Radiation Hardened Spin Transfer Torque MRAM program,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal, President Technologies and CEO of Everspin Technologies. “Extending our decade-long relationship to next-generation MRAM, this project will expand MRAM’s use and availability to more defense and aerospace radiation-hardened use cases.”
The deal with Frontgrade supports both current and future US Department of Defense (DoD) strategic and commercial space system requirements. It will be manufactured using the Skywater RH90 CMOS process in Bloomington, Minnesota and Everspin’s back-end-of-line MRAM process in Chandler, Arizona.
The contract allows for phases totaling up to $9.25 million for Everspin Technologies over multiple years. The current phase with Everspin Technologies is valued at approximately $1.25m but allows for future optional phases.
Everspin has also been awarded $14.55m over the next 30 months to develop a long-term plan to provide manufacturing services for aerospace and defense segments. The funding will be used to provide a plan to mitigate risks to its MRAM manufacturing supply chain, making use of various CMOS technologies.
