Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has claimed the first stacked CMOS image sensor technology with a 2-layer transistor pixel. The company’s proprietary technology separates photodiodes and pixel ...

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

Researchers at Intel Corp. have built what they claim is the smallest and fastest CMOS transistor, measuring 30nm in size and three atom layers thick. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel believes this new ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer of ultra-pure silicon. The bottom-most layer, also known as the front end ...

When starting a new electronics project today, one of the first things that we tend to do is pick the integrated circuits that make up the core of the design. This can be anything from a ...

Semiconductor chips have been getting smaller and smaller every year since the 1960s, with double the number of transistors fitting into the same chip space each year following the predicted ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

Cryogenic CMOS is a technology on the cusp, promising higher performance and lower power with no change in fabrication technology. The question now is whether it becomes viable and mainstream.
