It's a technology used to produce integrated circuits.
M
55:26Max SmartHOST
CMOS circuits are found in several types of electronic components, usually microprocessors, batteries, and newer digital camera image sensors.
M
55:34Max SmartHOST
The MOS in CMOS refers to the transistors in in a CMOS component called MOSFETs, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors.
M
55:47Max SmartHOST
Very science-y.
M
55:49Max SmartHOST
The metal part of the name is a bit misleading because all of this is done through silicon, right? So polysilicon instead of aluminum is the conductive material.

So where do you think the technology stands today? And what are the biggest challenges that still need to be overcome for a broader, even more, adoption?
A
2:12Alex LidowGUEST
So it's really only in the last year that the GaN transistors have surpassed MOSFETs at low voltages, say 40 volts and down, in terms of all performance metrics.
A
2:24Alex LidowGUEST
And certainly, GaN has approached MOSFETs in terms of manufacturing costs as well over the past several years.
A
2:31Alex LidowGUEST
So we really have opened up the door to much bigger applications.
A
2:36Alex LidowGUEST
The lower the voltage, by the way, the larger the market.

So what would be, what design also, what design philosophy should they adopt to fully exploit the capabilities of GAN, of modern GAN devices and advanced passive technologies?
A
15:31Alex LidowGUEST
You know, first of all, if you're already in GAN good, Or silicon carbide, good.

If you're in silicon MOSFETs, get out of it.
