The 7 nanometer (7 nm) lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 10 nm process node. The term "7 nm" is simply a commercial name for a generation of a certain size and its technology, as opposed to gate length or half pitch. Commercial mass production of integrated circuit using 7 nm process is set to begin sometimes in 2019 or 2020. This technology will be replaced by 5 nm process around 2022.
