Abstract
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is the most interesting technology presently available for mass production of chips, because of its low power dissipation, good scalability and speed. After a slow start, due to difficulties in the fabrication process, CMOS became a mature technology in the early eighties and will be more and more widely used as time goes by. One of the fascinating features of CMOS is its very wide range of applications: CMOS circuits can be found both in wrist-watches and supercomputers, covering the entire range of the electronic market. The future of CMOS looks even brighter.
