The 180 nanometer (180 nm) lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 220 nm process stopgap. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 180 nm process began in late 1998. This technology was replaced by with 150 nm process (HN) in 2000 and 130 nm process (FN) in 2001.

Industry

The 180 nm process was first to use Cu metalization as a replacement for Al for interconnects.
