In this lab, we learned how to layout an inverter using a PMOS and a NMOS device. Two inverters were created for this lab. The first one had a PMOS with a width of 12u and a NMOS with width of 6u. Both of the MOSFET devices have a minumum width of 0.6u. A schematic for this device can be seen below. To create the second inverter, a multiplier of 4 was used on the PMOS and NMOS from the first design.

The next step was to create a layout, extract, and LVS for each inverter. Both inverters passed DRC and LVS. Pictures from this part can be seen below.
