The intention of this table is to allow rough identification of a device's technology node.

This list includes ITRS standard nodes only, tag devices at the nearest appropriate node. Please only tag devices whose process geometry is known for certain; this will allow us to more easily compare examples of devices at each node.

Devices ≤ 90nm typically have thick top metal with a much larger design rule. There do not appear to be significant scaling trends in top metal pitch below 90nm,

There are two Vcore columns. The typical numbers are the nominal operating voltages for standard process, the minimum numbers are the lowest voltages allowed for low-power versions of the process.

Typically devices >180 nm are entirely Al metallization, <130 are Cu except for long-haul power routing. 130-180 can be either.
