Definition: CMOS transistor


The most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat misleading because in order to reduce power consumption, CMOS is actually made up of two transistors, one NMOS and one PMOS. CMOS gate or CMOS logic are more accurate descriptions of the technology. See CMOS and MOSFET.
