The 10 μm process (10 micrometer process) is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was commercially reached around 1971,[1][2] by companies such as RCA and Intel.

The 10 μm process refers to the minimum size that could be reliably produced. The smallest transistors and other circuit elements on a chip made with this process were around 10 micrometers wide.

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.
