130 nm process

The 130 nm process refers to the level of MOSFET (CMOS) semiconductor process technology that was commercialized around the 2001–2002 timeframe, by leading semiconductor companies like Fujitsu,[1] IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, and TSMC.

The origin of the 130 nm value is historical, as it reflects a trend of 70% scaling every 2–3 years. The naming is formally determined by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS).

Some of the first CPUs manufactured with this process include Intel Tualatin family of Pentium III processors.

Background

Their first MOSFET demonstrated by Egyptian engineer Mohamed Atalla and Korean engineer Dawon Kahng in 1960 had a gate length of 20 μm and a gate oxide thickness of 100 nm.[2] In 1984, a MOSFET based on NMOS logic was fabricated with a 100 nm channel length by Toshio Kobayashi, Seiji Horiguchi and K. Kiuchi at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in Japan.[3]

In 1990, a 100 nm CMOS process was demonstrated by an IBM T.J. Watson Research Center team led by Iranian engineers Ghavam G. Shahidi and Bijan Davari and Taiwanese engineer Yuan Taur.[4] In 2001, 100 nm CMOS nodes were commercialized by Fujitsu[1] and IBM.
