The 1.5 μm process is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1981–1982, by leading semiconductor companies such as NEC, Intel and IBM.
Products featuring 1.5 μm manufacturing process
- NEC's 64 kbit SRAM memory chip introduced the 1.5 μm process in 1981.[1]
- Intel 80286 CPU launched in 1982 was manufactured using this process.[2]
- Intel introduced a 64 kbit DRAM memory chip using a 1.5 μm CMOS process in 1983.[3]
- Ricoh RF5C164 is a 1.5 μm silicon-gate CMOS sound chip used in the Sega CD video game console, released in 1991.[4]
- The Amiga Advanced Graphics Architecture (initially sold in 1992) included chips such as Denise that were manufactured using a 1.5 μm CMOS process.[5]
