The 3 µm process is the level of semiconductor process technology that was reached in 1977[1][2] by the leading semiconductor companies such as Intel.
Products featuring 3 µm manufacturing process
- Intel 8085 CPU launched in 1977 was manufactured using 3.2 µm process.[3]
- Intel 8086 CPU launched in 1978 was manufactured using 3.2 µm process.[4]
- Intel 8088 CPU launched in 1979 was manufactured using 3.2 µm process.[5]
- Motorola 68000 CPU The original MC68000 was fabricated using an HMOS process with a 3.5 µm feature size.[6][better source needed]
- The original ARM microprocessor was launched in 1985 and manufactured on a 3 µm process.[7]
