'''Nodelets''' are enhanced versions of mature [[technology nodes]] that either improve the power or performance while minimizing the overall design rework required, typically without introducing more major changes such as [[optical shrinks]]. Since nodelets rely on existing and proven technologies, those process optimizations do not negatively impact [[yield]] and other reliability aspects of the process.

Nodelets are a more simplified version of a [[half node]] where either little or no shrink takes place and the emphasis shifts to process optimizations such as improving the [[on resistance|R<sub>on</sub>]] and the [[stray capacitance]]. Sometimes manufacturers will introduce a density improvement through [[standard cell]] changes such as [[track reduction]] or improve the device performance through the relaxation of the [[gate pitch]]. An example of recent nodelets include [[12 nm]], [[11 nm]], and [[8 nm]].
