CMOS

What does CMOS stand for?

I found this at The Free Dictionary:
CMOS Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (transistor type)
CMOS Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society
CMOS Capper Military Occupational Specialty
CMOS Cargo Movement Operations System
CMOS Cellular Management Operation System (telecommunications)
CMOS Chicago Manual of Style
CMOS Comparison Mean Opinion Score
CMOS Complimentary Metal Oxide Silicon
CMOS Configuration Memory Operating System


I'm assuming in the case of a DSLR it's the first definition.
Someone told me they are made by Sony, is that true?
If so why wouldn't Canon and Nikon make their own sensors in stead of
ultimately supporting one of their competitor?
