The 3 μm process is the level of
semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1977,[1][2] by leading semiconductor companies such as Intel
.
Products featuring 3 μm manufacturing process

- Motorola 68000 (MC68000) CPU, launched in 1979, was originally fabricated using an HMOS process with a 3.5 μm feature size.[5][circular reference]
- The ARM1 was launched in 1985 and manufactured on a 3 μm process.[6]
