CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) is a type of semiconductor technology used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs). CMOS devices are characterized by their low power consumption and high density, making them ideal for use in portable electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras.
CMOS technology was first developed in the early 1960s, and it has since become the dominant technology used in the production of ICs. CMOS devices are now used in a wide variety of applications, including computers, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics.
