Lab description:

The goal of this lab is to design, layout and simulate two CMOS inverters. One inverter is using 12u/.6u for the PMOS and 6u/.6u for the NMOS, and for the second inverter, 48u/24u where the devices use a multiplier, M = 4

 

Below are the schematic and symbol for 12u/6u inverter

Below are the layout, extracted, DRC, and LVS for the 12u/6u inveter

The simulations above show that by increasing the capacitor value, the RC time increases, which causes the output voltage not to be completely inverted as the input switches from 0V to 5V within the time given, or the pulse period.
