Some key computer functions are governed by the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), a chip on your motherboard powered by a small battery. The CMOS governs things like the system time ...

A CMOS-based chip that records the intensities of light as variable charges similar to a CCD chip. Although initially used in less expensive digital cameras, the quality of CMOS sensors has ...

This approach enables the construction of large-scale integrated circuits, such as microprocessors, memory chips, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are found in numerous ...
