The '''45 nanometer (45 nm) lithography process''' is a [[technology node|full node]] semiconductor manufacturing process following the [[55 nm lithography process|55 nm process]] stopgap. Commercial [[integrated circuit]] manufacturing using 45 nm process began in 2007. This technology was superseded by the [[40 nm lithography process|40 nm process]] (HN) / [[32 nm lithography process|32 nm process]] (FN) in 2010.

In January of 2006 Intel announced that they've been able to fabricate the first fully functional [[SRAM]] chips on a 45 nm process. As a preview Intel showcased 45nm SRAM chip (shown below) packing more than 1 billion transistors. Intel opened 3 45 nm facilities, their initial {{intel|D1D}} facility in Oregon, {{intel|Fab 32}} in Arizona and {{intel|Fab 28}} in Israel. Intel's 45 nm process is the first time high-k + metal gate transistors was used in high-volume manufacturing process.
