The 1 μm process (1 micrometre process) is a level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was commercialized around the 1984–1986 timeframe, by leading semiconductor companies like NTT, NEC, Intel and IBM.
Around the late 1980s, the 1 μm process (1 micrometre process) became a standard in MOSFET semiconductor manufacturing technology, developed and utilized by leading companies including NTT, NEC, Intel, and IBM.
