A family of transistors where the controling terminal is connected to a plate that is seperated from the semiconduxtor by an insulating layer. This plate was originally made out metal (we now use polysilicon, or poly) and the insulator is an oxide -- hence the "metal-oxide" appellation.
ilitary ccupational pecialty. The designation of what advanced training an enlisted man or woman receives after completion of Basic training. MOS 11B (11 Bravo) in the US Army is ‘Infantry," whereas 18B would be "Special Forces Weapons Sergeant." Thanks to Ken Mead (

Metal Oxide Semi-conductor
Legend has it that when talkies were first replacing silent films, this expression originated from Austrian-American director Joseph Von Sternberg. He often did not want to record sound during the filming of a scene so that he could tell his actors how to perform. He would shout out with his thick German accent that a scene would be filmed “Mit Out Sound!†To this day, “MOS†means without sound.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor - CCD imager used in CCD cameras
Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Chips constructed using metal, oxide and semiconductor layers.
Any shot without dialogue or sound recording.
Marine Observation Satellite. An unmanned, Japanese polar-orbiting satellite, carrying sensors specifically designed for oceanographic applications.
An acronym for Metal Oxide Semiconductor. A form of a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) imager used in some cameras.
Tradition has it that the a German film director coined the phrase MOS, meaning "mit out sound," as in a commercial where actors are seen but not heard.
Any segment of film taken without sound. (The letters MOS come from early foreign directors who wanted pictures taken "mit out sound.")
Mit Out Sound. An abbreviated form for no sound.
Marine Observation Satellite. MOS-1 was launched by Japan in 1987.
Metal-oxide semiconductor Developed for denser, lower performance circuits. Simpler processing and fewer mask layers allow larger circuits to be produced.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Technology used in the manufacture of semiconductors.
(n.) Metal oxide on Silicon: a basic technology for fabricating semiconductors. See also CMOS, BiCMOS.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor - a type of semiconductor device fabricated with a conducting layer and a semiconductor layer separated by an insulating layer. MOS semiconductors are unipolar devices that use either holes or electrons for conduction, but not both at once, i.e. they are not bipolar devices.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor: A type of integrated circuit fabrication fabrication process based on insulated gate field effect transistors originating from the VLSI industry. The process layers from top to bottom are: Metal, insulating oxide, semiconductor.
A performance where sound may be recorded, but the on-camera performer is seen in the final product without sound.
Metal-oxide Semiconductor. One of video image chips like CCD, but it produces lower quality video.
Acronym for Metal-Oxide-Silicon. One of two types of integrated circuit (the other is bipolar). It is rapidly expanding because of its low cost, ease of use and low energy consumption.
a German acronym that means "without sound." A term used to describe the lack of audio at specific points of a script.
Literally "mit-out-sound." Used to denote a picture take for which no sound was shot.
Abbreviation for metal-oxide semiconductors, a form of transistor technology in which low costs and high densities are achieved.
AKA: Mit Out Sound, Minus Optical Stripe, Motor Only Sync, take that is filmed without recording sound at the same time. MOS stands for "mit out sound"--it is purported that director Erich Von Stroheim couldn't pronounce "without sound" correctly due to his accent.
Mos is the singular form of the more commonly used plural noun Mores.
MOS means 'Mobile Operating System' (Russian: МобиÌÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ð°Ñ ÐžÐ¿ÐµÑ€Ð°Ñ†Ð¸Ð¾ÌÐ½Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¡Ð¸ÑтеÌма, МОС). It was a Soviet clone of Unix in the 1980s. This operating system was commonly found on SM EVM minicomputers; it was also ported to ES EVM and Elbrus.
MOS is a standard motion picture jargon abbreviation, used in production reports to indicate an associated film segment has no synchronous audio track. Omitting sound recording from a particular shot can save time and relieve the film crew of certain requirements, such as remaining silent during a take, and thus MOS takes are common on film shoots, particularly when the subjects of the take are not speaking or otherwise generating useful sound.
