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 ...
Illustration of FEOL (device generation in the silicon, bottom) and BEOL (depositing metalization layers, middle part) to connect the devices. CMOS fabrication process. The front end of line (FEOL) is the first portion of IC fabrication where the individual components (transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc.) are patterned in a semiconductor substrate. [1]
TSMC began risk production of 256 Mbit SRAM memory chips using a 7 nm process in April 2017. [125] Samsung and TSMC began mass production of 7 nm devices in 2018. [126] Apple A12 and Huawei Kirin 980 mobile processors, both released in 2018, use 7 nm chips manufactured by TSMC. [127]

The BEOL process deposits metalization layers on the silicion to interconnect the individual devices generated during FEOL (bottom). CMOS fabrication process. Back end of the line or back end of line (BEOL) is a process in semiconductor device fabrication that consists of depositing metal interconnect layers onto a wafer already patterned with devices.
A process design kit (PDK) is a set of files used within the semiconductor industry to model a fabrication process for the design tools used to design an integrated circuit. The PDK is created by the foundry defining a certain technology variation for their processes. It is then passed to their customers to use in the design process.
Simplified illustration of the process of fabrication of a CMOS inverter on p-type substrate in semiconductor microfabrication. Each etch step is detailed in the following image. The diagrams are not to scale, as in real devices, the gate, source, and drain contacts are not normally located in the same plane. Detail of an etch step.
