Semiconductor lithography processes technology
The 250 nm lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 350 nm process node. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 250 nm process began in 1997 and was eventually replaced by 180 nm by 1999.
Industry
The 0.25 µm-based process entered production at Intel in 1997. Intel original 0.25 micron process was named P856 or Process 856. A second process, named P856.5, was a 5% linear shrink of the original design rules. The shrink, which enabled a high equipment re-use resulted in a smaller, 9.26 µm2, 6T SRAM. The process used 200 mm wafers, SiO2 dielectric and polysilicon electode. It used Al inter-connects and an Si channels.
