32 nm lithography process

The 32 nanometer (32 nm) lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 40 nm process stopgap. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 32 nm process began in 2010. This technology was superseded by the 28 nm process (HN) / 22 nm process (FN) in 2012.

Industry[edit]

TSMC cancelled its planned 32nm node process. Intel's 32 nm process became the first process to introduce the self-aligned via patterning.
