Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor

A semiconductor fabrication technology that uses pairs of complementary p-type and n-type MOSFETs to create logic gates and digital circuits. CMOS technology consumes very low power because current only flows during switching transitions, making it ideal for battery-powered devices and microprocessors. It is the dominant technology used in modern digital integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, memory chips, and processors due to its excellent noise immunity and scalability.
