100 nanometres

Comparison of sizes of semiconductor manufacturing process nodes with some microscopic objects and visible light wavelengths. At this scale, the width of a human hair is about 10 times that of the image.[1]

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10−7 and 10−6 m (100 nm and 1 µm).

Distances shorter than 100 nm

Distances longer than 1 µm
