Using ion implantation, Mostek became an early leader in MOS manufacturing technology, while their competition was still mostly using the older bipolar technology.
Fairchild's Noyce and Texas Instrument's Kilby had independently invented the integrated circuit (IC) based on bipolar technology.
The EBVS systems are a modification of the bipolar electrosurgical technology developed in the 1940s.
Analysts say that Cray has generally trailed the rest of the supercomputer industry in the shift from bipolar to CMOS technology.
The requirements of high-infrastructure design were drastically reduced during the mid-1990s with CMOS mainframe designs replacing the older bipolar technology.
It originally referred to the replacement of vector supercomputers built with bipolar technology by Massively Parallel Processors (MPP) assembled from a larger number of lower performing microprocessors.
The 6100 family was produced using CMOS rather than the bipolar and NMOS technologies used by its contemporaries (Z80, 8080, 6800, 9900, etc.).
His contributions to advanced bipolar technology had a major impact on IBM S/390 mainframe systems.
The other design innovation, researchers say, was the integration of the bipolar technology with traditional C.M.O.S. technology on a single wafer.
Analog chips have primarily been made using bipolar technology, the main advantages of which are high speed and greater signal strength.
