Nitrous Oxide
chemical formula N2O, nitrous oxide is an oxidizer and a mildly toxic gas with a TLV of 50ppm. Nitrous oxide has a sweet odor. Nitrous oxide is used to nitride silicon dioxide and metals and during silicon oxynitride deposition. NMOS - an MOS device that uses N-type carriers, electrons for conduction in the on-state.
