Explanation & Steps

CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide field effect transistor) is a fabrication technology which uses NMOS transistors in pull-down network (PDN) and PMOS transistors in pull-up network (PUN). The multiplication and addition function between NMOS and PMOS transistors is always complementary.

The advantage of using CMOS technology is that the either PDN or PUN will be in OFF condition for each input combination of Boolean function implemented by CMOS network. Thus the power drawn from supply voltage is ideally always zero, which results in zero power dissipation across CMOS network. However if leakage and switching power are considered then the power dissipation is not zero but still very less than the same circuit implemented in other technologies like Pseudo-NMOS logic, Pass-transistor logic, depletion-load logic etc.
