3 nm lithography process
Revision as of 13:54, 1 June 2017 by David (talk | contribs)

The 3.5 nanometer (3.5 nm) or 35 Å lithography process is a full node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 5 nm process node. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 3.5 nm process is set to begin sometimes around 2024 or 2025. The term "3.5 nm" is simply a commercial name for a generation of a certain size and its technology, as opposed to gate length or half pitch.

On May 24 2017 Samsung announced they will be switching to a transistor they call Multi-Bridge-Channel FET (MBCFET), an extension of a Gate-all-around (GAA) FET. This is planned for somewhere after the 5nm node but the exact timeline or specification is currently unknown.
