The transition from NMOS to CMOS came as a surprise to many. Most people thought CMOS too slow and insufficiently dense to become the industry’s mainstream process technology. In the mid-70s, Yasui ...

NMOS and PMOS (CMOS) transistors, capacitors, and resistors are featured in canned examples that speed up learning of the tool as well as typical transistor and passives layout topologies Real ...

A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can ...

This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have no direct experience with that). An NMOS gate consisted of a network of N-transistors ...

The processes are fully compatible with TSMC's 0.18-micron digital CMOS process, which features a core voltage of 1.8 volts and I/O voltage of 3.3 V. The mixed-signal process has an NMOS fT of 62 ...
