The metal–nitride–oxide–semiconductor or metal–nitride–oxide–silicon (MNOS) transistor is a type of MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) in which the oxide layer is replaced by a double layer of nitride and oxide.[1] It is an alternative and supplement to the existing standard MOS technology, wherein the insulation employed is a nitride-oxide layer.[2][3] It is used in non-volatile computer memory.[4]
