  65 nanometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 65 nanometer (65 nm) process is the current most advanced mainstream technology for general semiconductor manufacturing as of 2006.
65 nanometer refers to the wavelength of the light source used to cure the photoresistive coating on silicon wafers.
The shorter wavelength yields smaller etched lines and transistors on the silicon wafer, allowing for more transistors per given area, or more processing power for the same area.

 90 nanometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 2002 and up to 2004, the 90 nanometer (90 nm) process has been a buzzword in the electronic, the LSI and semiconductor manufacturing, and fabrication industries.
The industrial standard before this was the 0.13 micrometer (130 nm) process, and the next milestone is the 65 nm process.
During the manufacturing process, a thin layer of oxide is applied to the silicon wafer, which acts as insulating material to keep electrons inside of the chip's structures.

 TI to sample 65-nanometer chips in early 2005 | InfoWorld | News | 2004-03-22 | By Nancy Weil, IDG News Service
The smallest track or gap width on a chip surface is measured in nanometers.
A lower nanometer measurement means that semiconductors can be made that are physically smaller, and they also are faster, more powerful and efficient because more transistors can be packed into the smaller space.
Sixty-five nanometers is roughly a thousandth of the width of a single human hair, which is about half the width of 90 nanometers.
