The transition from NMOS to CMOS came as a surprise to many. Most people thought CMOS too slow and insufficiently dense to become the industry’s mainstream process technology. In the mid-70s, Yasui ...

A comparative study of the behavior of NMOS and CMOS digital circuits in terms of the ability to tolerate substrate noise is presented. Theoretical and simulation results are confirmed by experimental ...

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 ...

When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

A fully ion-implanted process allows high-density integration of NMOS, CMOS, and bipolar transistors for VLSI of analog-digital systems. Supply voltage can be 2 ...

This is what is known as CMOS today. It draws almost zero static power dissipation. Early ICs used NMOS technology, because the NMOS process was fairly simple, less expensive and more devices could be ...

Application of the models The models with their corresponding parameters are integrated into the standard CMOS library, so that one now has a “new” process with the high performance analog devices and ...
