When someone says their transistors are a "90nm process"
(or similar) I always assumed they meant the minimum gate
length their fabrication process could produce.
But then while reading this:
http://www.intel.com/technology/silicon/65nm_technology.htm
I saw this:
"Intel's 65nm transistors have a reduced gate length of 35
nanometers and a gate oxide thickness of 1.2 nanometers."
Which seems to imply the process length does not imply
minimum gate length.
Does anybody know what feature of a transistor is measured
by the process dimension?
