NMOS |
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
NMOS(N-Channel MOS) Pronounced "n-moss." A type of microelectronic circuit used for logic and memory chips. NMOS transistors are faster than their PMOS counterpart and more of them can be put on a single chip. It is also used in CMOS design. See MOSFET. NMOS [′en‚mȯs] (electronics) Metal-oxide semiconductors that are made onp-type substrates, and whose active carriers are electrons that migrate betweenn-type source and drain contacts. Derived fromn-channel metal-oxide semiconductor. How to thank TFD for its existence?

By optimizing shallow trench isolation (STI) stress, sidewall stress, and silicon nitride (SiN) stress on the gate, it was possible to improve the performance of both NMOS and PMOS. There was an apparent assumption that power consumption using NMOS or bipolar processes would be reduced over time. These devices also provide a wide (20V max) operating voltage, while their PMOS pull-up and NMOS pull-down transistors provide a 17V signal swing (VCC - VEE). |
