CMOSteknologiat

CMOSteknologiat refers to Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor technologies. This is a fundamental fabrication process used to create integrated circuits (ICs), commonly known as microchips. CMOS technology utilizes both P-type and N-type MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) to form logic gates and other circuit elements. The "complementary" aspect means that for every P-type transistor, there is a corresponding N-type transistor, which allows for low power consumption.

The primary advantage of CMOS technology is its very low static power consumption. This means that when the circuit is not actively switching states, it consumes almost no power, making it ideal for battery-powered devices. CMOS is also known for its high noise immunity and relatively simple manufacturing process compared to some other semiconductor technologies. Its scalability has allowed for the creation of increasingly smaller and more powerful chips over decades.

CMOSteknologiat is the dominant technology used in the manufacturing of microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory chips (like DRAM and flash memory), and a vast array of other digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits. It is found in virtually all modern electronic devices, from smartphones and computers to automobiles and industrial equipment. The continuous advancement of CMOS technology, enabling smaller transistors and higher integration densities, has been a driving force behind the ongoing digital revolution.
