The smallest feature size I ever made on a chip (in production) was one micron. I retired from chip-making at the end of 1994.

Good luck to these folks.

1,000 nanometers in a micron.

Mind-boggling scale.

Good luck to these folks to make the economic argument to actually produce this device for a product to sell in Walmart.
