Cmos
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Pronounced 'sea moss', it's a type of chip used for digital processors and memory, and also happens to be the most popular. A CMOS chip wires together a PMOS (Positive MOS) and NMOS (N-Channel MOS) to form a single efficient unit. (Also see Microprocessor)
