Grant, Duncan Andrew; Gowar, John. Power MOSFETS: theory and applications. Wiley, 1989, p. 1. ISBN 9780471828679. «The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is the most commonly used active device in the very large-scale integration of digital integrated circuits (VLSI). During the 1970s these components revolutionized electronic signal processing, control systems and computers.»
