CMOS

CMOS, or Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, is a technology used in making integrated circuits, crucial for modern electronics. It is widely found in devices like smartphones, computers, and cameras. CMOS technology utilizes pairs of p-type and n-type transistors, which complement each other to efficiently manage power consumption and heat. This results in faster processing speeds and lower energy use, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. The ability to integrate many functions on a single chip has been key to the miniaturization and advancement of digital technology.
