Process technology refers to the fineness of integrated circuits in the process of producing CPU, that is, the higher the precision, the more advanced the production technology. The same material can be used to make more electronic components. The thinner the connecting wire, the higher the fineness and the smaller the CPU power consumption.
The trend of manufacturing technology is to develop to higher density. The higher the density of IC circuit design, it means that in the same size and area of IC, you can have higher density and more complex function circuit design.
The development and progress of microelectronics technology mainly depends on the continuous progress of process technology, which makes the feature size of devices shrink continuously, thus improving the integration, reducing power consumption and improving the performance of devices.
After 1995, the chip manufacturing process ranges from 500 nm, 350 nm, 250 nm, 180 nm, 150 nm, 130 nm, 90 nm, 65 nm, 45 nm, 32 nm, 28 nm, 22.
Extended data
It is of great significance to improve the manufacturing technology of the processor, because more advanced manufacturing technology will integrate more transistors in the CPU, so that the processor can achieve more functions and higher performance;
More advanced manufacturing technology will further reduce the core area of the processor, that is to say, more CPU products can be manufactured on the same area wafer, which will directly reduce the product cost of CPU, thus ultimately reducing the sales price of CPU and benefiting consumers;
More advanced manufacturing technology will also reduce the power consumption of the processor, thus reducing its calorific value and solving the obstacles to the improvement of processor performance. The development history of the processor itself also fully illustrates this point.
Advanced manufacturing technology has enhanced the performance and function of CPU, but the price has been declining, which also makes computers become daily consumer goods and necessities for all from the luxury that most people can't reach before.
