Is it possible to place some low power SRAM and flash/EEPROM on the same die as well?




It is a very good idea about SRAM! Around 16KB of SRAM can fit on the die (Wafer.Space provides 20 mm^2 area per chip) - that could be useful for both fixing old computers like ZX Spectrum and handy for turning Z80 into a tiny MCU.

However Flash/EEPROM is currently out of the question. I don't know of any open-source versions available. That would have been a very serious undertaking on it's own!


Maybe 64k or even more with 2-transistor SRAM cells like those described in https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8993520 ?
