MOS Technology, Inc. ("MOS" being short for Metal Oxide Semiconductor), later known as CSG (Commodore Semiconductor Group) and GMT Microelectronics, was a semiconductor design and fabrication company based in Audubon, Pennsylvania.
One of the most popular MOSFET technologies available today is the Complementary MOS or CMOS technology. This is the dominant semiconductor technology for microprocessors, microcontroller chips, memories like RAM, ROM, EEPROM and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

IEEE Spectrum. 30 Jun 2017. 2 min read. Image: Computer History Museum. 6502 Micro-processor. Manufacturer: MOS Technology. Category: Processors. Year: 1975.
The MOS Technology 6502 (typically pronounced "sixty-five-oh-two") is an 8-bit microprocessor that was designed by a small team led by Chuck Peddle for MOS Technology. The design team had formerly worked at Motorola on the Motorola 6800 project; the 6502 is essentially a simplified, less expensive and faster version of that design.
MOS’ claim to fame was their development and manufacturing of the wildly successful 6500 line of microprocessors which in addition to being used in nearly all Commodore computers and floppy drives, was also what powered all pre-1984 Apples.
MOS Technology, Inc. (pronounced [ɛm-oʊ-ɛs] or em-oh-ess) was a semiconductor design and fabrication company based in Norristown, Pennsylvanisa, USA. The term MOS is an acronym for Metal Oxide Semiconductor, a 3-layered electronic construction: a silicon wafer substrate underneath a grown layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) underneath a layer of ...
Jun 18, 2022 · One ubiquitous microprocessor of the late 1970s and 1980s was the MOS Technology MCS 6502. I included a section on the development of the 6502 in Part 2 of Supply Chain Games, and have posted it as an excerpt here, as I believe it is deserving in its own right.
