The '''20 nanometer (20 nm) lithography process''' is a [[technology node#half node|half-node]] semiconductor manufacturing process used as a stopgap between the [[22 nm lithography process|22 nm]] and [[16 nm lithography process|16 nm]] processes. The term "20 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 [[integrated circuit]] manufacturing using 20 nm process began in 2014. This technology superseded by commercial [[16 nm lithography process|16 nm process]].
