    How long is a piece of string? ;->

    If you're using a technology that uses "lambda rules", then the dimensions may well be in lambda - and you'd have to know what real technology that the design is being targetted for to know what the value of lambda is. 

    In most cases though your units are in microns though.

    If you're unsure, you should speak to your supervisor/tutor who will be more familiar with the specifics of what you're trying to do than somebody on a forum with little visibility of your project.

    Regards.,

    Andrew.
