Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
     
         (CMOS) A {semiconductor} fabrication
        technology using a combination of n- and p-doped semiconductor
        material to achieve low {power dissipation}.  Any path through
        a {gate} through which {current} can flow includes both n and
        p type {transistors}.  Only one type is turned on in any
        {stable state} so there is no {static power dissipation} and
        current only flows when a gate switches in order to charge the
        {parasitic capacitance}.
