But finding the right metal—two metals really, because there are two types of transistor, NMOS and PMOS—introduced its own ...

Like the DEC PDP-8, this is a 12-bit machine, but instead of the diode-transistor logic of the DEC, the substantially smaller Q2 uses a simple NMOS approach. Also, the DEC has core memory ...

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

The first microprocessor was announced by Intel in 1971. As static power dissipation of NMOS transistor is more compared to CMOS, the power consumption of ICs became a serious issue in the 1980s as ...

Whereas the CPUs and similar ASICs of the 1970s had their transistors laid out manually ... of these standard cells including their PMOS and NMOS components within the BiCMOS process can be ...
