They used to measure in microns, so this is the expected next step I guess. Anyway, I hope this goes well. We need more cutting edge fabs.

- kurthr 4y agoIt's sort of interesting as a human tendency. You very rarely hear anyone in the industry refer to 0.25u as 250nm, but below 2 at 0.18u you do occasionally hear it referred to as 180nm. By the time you're at 130nm, it's quite rare to hear it referred to as 0.13 and at 90nm you never hear 0.09um. This wasn't some industry planned marketing thing... it just seems reasonable. It's convenient that there are angstroms as well, since they are close atomic sized (Silicon atom is ~0.2nm - lattice parameter 0.54nm).
