Complementary metal oxide semiconductors CMOS

Nanocrystals are receiving significant attention for nano-electronics application for the development of future nonvolatile, high density and low power memory devices [1-3]. In nanocrystal complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memories, an isolated semiconductor island of nanometer size is coupled to the channel of a MOS field effect transistor (MOSFET) so that the charge trapped in the island modulates the threshold voltage of the transistor (Fig. 1).

NMOS and PMOS (p-channel MOS) transistors are used side by side in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology to form logic elements. These structures have the advantage of extremely low power consumption and are important in ultralarge-scale integration (ULSI) and very-large-scale integration (VLSI) (13). 

Moreover, since the process is completely complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible, more complex systems can be developed, with a large variety of components as different as valves, coolers, and photodetectors.

The likelihood that a component will be damaged increases with the increasing use of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chips, because these chips contain a thin metal oxide layer that is hypersensitive to ESD. The previous generation s Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) chips are actually more robust than the newer CMOS chips because they don t contain this metal oxide layer. Most of today s ICs are CMOS chips, so there is more of a concern with ESD lately. 

The fourth link between chemistry and lithography concerns the principles governing the chemical transformations utilized in process-integration schemes that are part of the implementation of lithography in IC device fabrication. This theme, discussed in Chapter 16, explores how lithography is used to define and pattern the various front end of lithography (FEOL) and back end of lithography (BEOL) layers of a state-of-the-art Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) microprocessor based on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device.
