Question

Is CMOS a transistor?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation :

  1. A type of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process known as complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor (COS-MOS) uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.
  2. Microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory chips (including CMOS BIOS), and other digital logic circuits are all built using CMOS technology.
  3. A transistor regulates the flow of current or voltage by acting as a switch or gate for electrical signals. A transistor is made up of three layers of semiconductor material, each of which may conduct electricity.
  4. Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), often known as a MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), is a type of semiconductor.

Hence, CMOS is a Transistor.
