Layout of CMOS Circuits NMOS Transistor Symbolic layout (stick diagram ) symbolic way of representing layout for planning purposes Rectangles on different layers are represented by lines ( i.e sticks) Complete Diagram we do the actual layout in the layout editor Stick diagram Example: CMOS Inverter one way.. Symbolic layout Actual Layout O/P another way.. M1 Contact NDiffusion PDiffusion D DPoly To fit our inverter in area like this I/P GND VDD EXERCISES: OAI123 O/P A B C n D
