what exactly is 0.35 um technology

[santom]

If the 0.35um technology predominantly denotes the channel length of a transistor, then why do all the IC related problems has a different length value, by indicating as a 0.35 um technology in the first place of the question all the time..

May be its a very weird question.But any good simple answers are really helpful

I think 0.35um is only in analog electronics "new",
for logics its old one, for memories very old...
hier are the modernst ~"0.035 um" or at 20-40 nm...

You can read in Wikipedia over same as I told:
Technology is from 1995 - 97...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/350_nanometer
Would first knowed with "Pentiums"....

It refers to the minimum thickness ot the tracks used on a chip.
A 0.8 u technology would have far less density of circuitry as compared to a .35 or .16 u tecnology. Thus we could have a lot more circuitry on a .35 u chip, reducing the size and cost of the chip.

Hallo praveensss,

Sorry, No,no + no...
Better:
Minimum width of the tracks on chip!

K, You are right, I meant width and wrote thichkness!
