The 1 µm process refers to the level of semiconductor process technology that was reached around the 1985-1986 timeframe^[1]^[2] by the leading semiconductor companies, like Intel and IBM. It is the first process where CMOS is common (as opposed to NMOS).

Products featuring 1.0 µm manufacturing process

Intel 80386 CPU launched in 1985 was manufactured using this process.^[3]
