abstract.
For this lab, we used L-edit, a simple program that helps us lay out silicon and metal layers, to draw basic transistors. We first laid out an NMOS transistor and then a PMOS transistor. Then combining these (CMOS) we constructed an inverter gate, a nand gate and a nor gate. We then extracted out layout and simulated our gates in SPICE. Finally, we created a 4-input nand gate in two ways; first using CMOS to build one from ground up, and second by combining the NAND, NOR and the inverter gates.

Figure 12. the 4-input NAND gate layout (click on image for larger version) Another way to create a 4-input NAND gate is to use the NAND, NOR and NOT gates we've already created. Figure 13 shows how 2 NAND gates, a NOR gate and a NOT gate can be put together to implement the 4-input NAND gate.
Figure 13. implementation of a 4-input NAND gate using 2 NAND one NOR and a NOT gate. As an extension, we laid out the gates in L-edit (see Figure 14). A comparison of Figure 14 and Figure 12 shows how much more compact the gate would be if it were built from scratch (and not using other gates).
