metal oxide semiconductor [′med·əl ¦äk‚sīd ′sem·i·kən‚dək·tər]

(solid-state physics)

A metal insulator semiconductor structure in which the insulating layer is an oxide of the substrate material; for a silicon substrate, the insulating layer is silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Abbreviated MOS.

(electronics)

Metal Oxide Semiconductor - (MOS) The three materials used to form a gate in the most common kind of Field Effect Transistor - a MOSFET.

CMOS; circuit design, layout, and simulation, rev. 2d ed by SciTech Book News Engineering teams from the two companies have been working closely together to port the processor design to Fujitsu's CS100 90 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, which features transistors with a 40 nm physical gate length. Transmeta selects Fujitsu as foundry for 90 nm processors by Circuits Assembly As the lateral feature sizes of complementary metal oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistors are scaled downward, the gate dielectric capacitance must be increased in order to maintain the same drive current.
