why are n-type and p-type called as active area?

is it correct that "active" means "electrically active"?

please let me know....
 

Active areas are defined as areas where the CMOS transistors are fabricated(It will be doped to be n or p ). Thick oxide is grown outside the active areas.
Thick oxide is also known as field oxide. Field oxides isolate the transistors from one another.
