Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

SEATTLE — A startup founded by EDA industry icon Carver Mead has developed a process for recharacterizing CMOS transistors after they've been fabricated. Impinj Inc. is betting the process will be ...

The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

Intel's upcoming RibbonFET technology is set to debut in the company's 20A node next year, but already the chip maker is showcasing the next step: 3D stacked CMOS (complementary metal oxide ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...
