The 10 μm process (10 micron smallest dimension) is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was commercially reached around 1971,[1][2] by leading semiconductor companies such as RCA and Intel.
Products featuring 10 μm manufacturing process
- RCA's CD4000 series of integrated circuits began with a 20 μm process in 1968, before gradually downscaling and eventually reaching 10 μm in the next several years.[3]
- Intel 1103, an early dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chip launched in 1970, used an 8 μm process.[4]
- Intel 4004 CPU launched in 1971 was manufactured using a 10 μm process.[5]
- Intel 8008 CPU launched in 1972 was manufactured using this process.[5]

The i1103 was manufactured on a 6-mask silicon-gate P-MOS process with 8 μm minimum features. The resulting product had a 2,400 μm, 2 memory cell size, a die size just under 10 mm2, and sold for around $21.
