Inverter Layout Alternatives

The document discusses VLSI design layout examples for complex logic gates. It describes alternative inverter layouts and a stacked layout that works well for cascaded gates. It also discusses the line of diffusion rule for layouts where transistors form a line of diffusion intersected by poly, and the diffusion will be unbroken if identically labeled Euler paths can be found for the p and n trees. The document provides additional layout examples.
