5 unusual facts about MOS


Metal gate

Earlier PMOS technologies were not sensitive to this effect because the positively-charged sodium was naturally attracted towards the negatively-charged gate, and away from the channel, minimizing threshold voltage shifts.

A metal gate, in the context of a lateral Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor MOS stack, is just that—the gate material is made from a metal.

For decades (i.e., in the late 1970s), the industry had moved away from metal (most typically aluminum, evaporated in a vacuum chamber onto the wafer surface), as the gate material in the MOS stack due to fabrication complications.

PC-MOS/386

Unlike MS-DOS, PC-MOS/386 is optimized for the Intel 80386 processor; however early versions will run on any x86 computer.

It required a memory management unit (MMU) to support memory protection, so was not compatible with 8086 and 8088 processors.

25U signal support systems specialist

25U signal support system specialist is sometimes referred to as 25 Universal due to the openness and flexibility of the MOS, as the person can be assigned from anywhere to Infantry, rangers, higher headquarters, an armored unit, PsyOps, public affairs, or even the Communication Room at the White House.

Sapper Tab

To be awarded the Sapper Tab, a service member may or may not hold the military occupation specialty code (MOS) designation as a Combat Engineer (Sapper), but must have graduated from the Sapper Leader Course (SLC), which is operated by the U.S. Army Engineer School at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Shion Uzuki

"Fighting KOS-MOS" plays during a scene that showcases KOS-MOS' power, but composer Yasunori Mitsuda chose to write the track from Shion's perspective for a twist.

Shion makes an appearance in Namco × Capcom, when she, MOMO, and KOS-MOS appear in the middle of Shibuya during a series of dimensional disturbances, in time to help the main characters against a Gnosis attack.
