Lab Description:
The lab today is about
creating a CMOS inverter symbol and layout followed by simulating its
functionality.
Prelab:
Finished Tutorial 3:



Lab:
Created a schematic for an
inverter and an 4x inverter:


As well as their respective
symbols and layouts:

12u/6u: 48u/24u:

I then simulated both
inverters driving a 100fF, 1pF, 10pF, and 100pF capacitive load across both
inverters individually.
12u/6u Inverter simulations:
100fF:
