The 14 nm lithography process is a half-node semiconductor manufacturing process used as a stopgap between the 16 nm and 10 nm processes. As is the case with all recent process nodes, while the term "14 nm" is used by a number of companies, the exact feature sizes various wildly from one manufacturer to another. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 14 nm process began in 2014. This technology is set to be replaced with 10 nm process in 2017.

Intel continues with its 2nd generation trigate transistors. A change from 22 nm in Intel's process is that the fins have been significantly modified. They are now much more vertical and slimmer, down to 8 nm width. Low-k dielectrics is used in the first eight levels.
