lambda

lambda
   1. a metric unit of volume equal to the cubic millimeter (mm3) or microliter (µL). The lambda has been used in chemistry in measuring very small samples. The symbol is the lower case Greek letter lambda.
   2. a unit of relative distance used in the design of integrated circuits in microelectronics. These circuits are usually designed to be "scalable," so that the same design can be repeated on ever-smaller chips as technology improves.
   The "feature size" of a design is the width of its smallest element, and one lambda equals one half the feature size. Lambdas of a few tenths of a micrometer (micron) are common.
