300 nano-meters, or 300 billionths of a meter. A pretty small, microscopic distance.
In terms of integrated circuits, it usually refers to the line width of the channel between the drain and the source of an indivudual MOSFET transistor on the chip. You'll hear of 1 micron ICs, or 0.7 micron ICs, or 0.3 micron ICs, etc.

A micron is one of the various units in which length is measured. One usually associates length with units like metre, kilometre and miles.
1 micron = 1/1000000 of a metre which is incredibly small
.3 microns = 3/10000000 of a metre

Sounds like the thickness of the "wire" used in todays microprocessers. It's much smaller than a head hair.

it's a unit of measure. It's the same as 0.3 one millionths of a meter.
