1 μm process

The 1 μm process (1 micrometre process) is a level of

semiconductor process technology that was commercialized around the 1984–1986 timeframe,^[1]^[2] by leading semiconductor companies like NTT, NEC, Intel and IBM. It was the first process where CMOS was common (as opposed to NMOS

).

The earliest MOSFET with a 1 μm

IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in 1974.^[3]

Products featuring 1.0 μm manufacturing process

DRAM memory chips, including its 64k in 1979 and 256k in 1980.^[4]

Mbit DRAM memory chip was manufactured with the 1 μm process in 1984.^[5]

CPU launched in 1985 was manufactured using this process.^[1]

Intel uses this process on the CHMOS III-E technology.^[6]
Intel uses this process on the CHMOS IV technology.^[7]
