CMOS stands for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS is a technology for constructing integrated circuits. It is widely used in Microprocessors, Micro Controllers, Static RAM. It is also used in Analog circuits such as image sensors. CMOS was patented in 1967 by Frank Wanlass. CMOS is sometimes referred as COS-MOS i.e complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor.

firmware chip

A CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS transistor into. Alternatively, a CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS integrated circuit into.

CMOS, by the way, stands for, "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor".

complimentary metal-oxide semi-conductor!

i taught A+ for 7 years!

Ummm.... Yes?
