HMOS

HMOS denotes a semiconductor technology generation and is an acronym for the English h igh-performance MOS (engl for. Metal - oxide - semiconductor ). HMOS is used in integrated circuits with a high packing density with NMOS logic . Previously, feature sizes of 6 microns to 10 microns established. Other semiconductor technologies are known under the names HCMOS , PMOS and the CMOS that is predominantly used today.
