* At the [[2016]] IEEE [[International Electron Devices Meeting]] (IEDM), researchers from [[CEA-Leti]] presented a paper detailing the architecture for a possible 5 nm node. The researchers presented their functional vertically stacked gate-all-around (GAA) silicon NW/NS (NanoWire/NanoSheet) MOSFETs. GAA NW transistors are a highly promising candidate to succeed FinFETs as the drive current can be optimized by vertically stacking multiple horizontal nanowires.

The 5 nanometer (5 nm or 50 Å) lithography process is a technology node semiconductor manufacturing process following the 7 nm process node. Commercial integrated circuit manufacturing using 7 nm process is set to begin sometimes around 2020.

The term "5 nm" is simply a commercial name for a generation of a certain size and its technology, and does not represent any geometry of a transistor.
