Cmos - wikipedia.org  ## Metadata - Author: **wikipedia.org** - Full Title: Cmos - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS ## Highlights - **Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor** (**CMOS,** pronounced "sea-moss", /siːmɑːs/, /-ɒs/) is a type of [metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET) (MOSFET) [fabrication process](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device_fabrication) that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of [p-type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-type_semiconductor) and [n-type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-type_semiconductor) MOSFETs for logic functions.[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS#cite_note-1) CMOS technology is used for constructing [integrated circuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit) (IC) chips, including [microprocessors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor), [microcontrollers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller), [memory chips](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_chip) (including [CMOS BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory)), and other [digital logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_logic) circuits. CMOS technology is also used for [analog circuits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_circuit) such as [image sensors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor) ([CMOS sensors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS_sensor)), [data converters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion), [RF circuits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_circuit) ([RF CMOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_CMOS)), and highly integrated [transceivers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transceiver) for many types of communication.
