The 45 nanometer (45 nm) lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 55 nm process stopgap. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 45 nm process began in 2007. This technology was superseded by the 40 nm process (HN) / 32 nm process (FN) in 2010.

Industry[edit]

In January of 2006 Intel announced that they've been able to fabricate the first fully functional SRAM chips on a 45 nm process. As a preview Intel showcased 45nm SRAM chip (shown below) packing more than 1 billion transistors. Intel opened 3 45 nm facilities, their initial D1D facility in Oregon, Fab 32 in Arizona and Fab 28 in Israel. Intel's 45 nm process is the first time high-k + metal gate transistors was used in high-volume manufacturing process.
