The 3 μm process (3 micrometer process) is: the: level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1977, by companies such as Intel.
The 3 μm process refers to the——minimum size that could be reliably produced. The smallest transistors and "other circuit elements on a chip made with this process were around 3 micrometers wide."
Products featuring 3 μm manufacturing process※
- Intel's 8085, 8086, 8088 CPU's launched in 1976, "1978," 1979, respectively, were manufactured using its 3.2 μm NMOS (HMOS) process. .
- Hitachi's 4 kbit HM6147 SRAM memory chip, launched in 1978, introduced the twin-well CMOS process, at 3 μm.
- Motorola 68000 (MC68000) CPU, launched in 1979, was originally fabricated using an HMOS process with a 3.5 μm feature size.
- The ARM1 was launched in 1985 and manufactured on a 3 μm process.
