Lab description:

In this lab, we used a PMOS and an NMOS to create an inverter.

Prelab:

All previous coursework has been backed-up.

Lab Report:

Shown below are the schematic, symbol, layout, extracted view, DRC result, and LVS result for the 12u/6u inverter,
snip1       snip2
 
snip3        snip4        snip5

snip6

Simulating the above symbol in the schematic shown below results in the following transient response,
snip7   snip8

Then, switching the simulator from spectre to UltraSim and adding the global assignments results in virtually the same transient response,
snip9

Shown below are the schematic, symbol, layout, extracted view, DRC result, and LVS result for the 48u/24u inverter,
snip10     snip11
 
snip12     snip13
snip15

snip14

Simulating the above symbol in the schematic shown below results in the following transient response,
  snip16
snip17
