CMOS transistor |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.02 sec. |
CMOS transistorThe most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat of a misnomer. There is technically no such thing as a single CMOS "transistor." CMOS "gates," CMOS "logic" or CMOS "circuits" are more accurate terms, because CMOS technology is made up of NMOS and PMOS transistors wired in combination to reduce power consumption.

Silicon LSI devices consist of CMOS transistors and multilevel interconnects that connect the transistors. The wild success of miniaturization in electronics has owed largely to how conveniently CMOS transistors scale down. Using a new gate dielectric material, Toshiba has developed a CMOS transistor that reduces gate leakage current to a level only 1/1000 that of CMOS transistors with conventional gate dielectrics. |
