As a result, our diagram only includes very common logic circuits from the CMOS 4000 family, with quite respectable results.
The current dominant silicon technology is CMOS - complementary metal oxide semiconductor.
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) are the lower-end chip, with charge couple device (CCD) chips being a more up-market item.
A smaller CCD can provide image quality that is the equal of larger CMOS chips.
In 1967, Frank Wanlass patented the first CMOS, or complementary-symmetry metal-oxide-semiconductor.
