substrate
<hardware> The body or base layer of an integrated circuit, onto which other layers are deposited to form the circuit. The substrate is usually Silicon, though Sapphire is used for certain applications, particularly military, where radiation resistance is important. The substrate is originally part of the wafer from which the die is cut. It is used as the electrical ground for the circuit.

Complementary Metal Oxide Substrate
Actually, you're wrong, it is complementary metal oxide semiconductor.

But it is not semiconductor, it is substrate
No. Its semiconductor. If you have the patience/care, tell whoever made that website (ive not even looked at it), that they are horribly wrong. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=define:CMOS&meta= ... 'sides ... metal-oxide substrate? LOL
