1 μm process

The 1 µm process refers to the level of semiconductor process technology that was reached around the 1985-1986 timeframe^[1]^[2] by the leading semiconductor companies, like Intel and IBM.

Products featuring 1.0 µm manufacturing process

Intel 80386 CPU launched in 1985 was manufactured using this process.^[3]
