15nm
15nm refers to a semiconductor manufacturing process node, indicating the nominal size of the smallest feature that can be reliably produced on a silicon wafer. This dimension is typically associated with the half-pitch of critical metal layers or the gate length of transistors. The 15nm node represents a significant advancement in semiconductor technology, allowing for smaller, more power-efficient, and higher-performing integrated circuits.
The development of smaller process nodes like 15nm is driven by the continuous pursuit of Moore's Law,
Chips manufactured at the 15nm node are used in a wide range of electronic devices, including high-end
