VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) is a technology that integrates thousands of transistors into a single silicon chip, revolutionizing electronic device design over previous methods. CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is the primary fabrication method for VLSI, which includes various processes, such as n-well, p-well, and twin-tub, each addressing specific challenges like body effect and latch-up problems. Bicmos technology combines CMOS with bipolar junction transistors to overcome CMOS limitations in output load handling, enhancing overall circuit performance.
