3 μm process

(Redirected from 3 um process)

The 3 μm process (3 micrometer process) is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1977,[1][2] 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.
