TITLE: Prepare CMOS layout for NAND, and NOR gates in selected technology, draw the
layout of the same, simulate with and without capacitive load, and comment on rise and
fall times.
1. To prepare the CMOS layout of two-input NAND and NOR gate in 0.12µm
technology, draw the layout, simulate with and without capacitive load, comment on
rise and fall times, and compare both gates.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Microwind 3.9 backend tool for layout design
NAND and NOR are universal gates; any gate can be designed using these gates, but the
NAND gate is faster than the nor gate and requires less area. Hence, NAND is preferred over
the NOR gate. If both inputs of the NAND gate are at ‘1’, then its output is ‘0’; otherwise,
output is ‘1’.In CMOS design, the NAND gate consists of two NMOS in series connected to
two PMOS in parallel. The schematic diagram of the CMOS NAND gate is shown below.

If both inputs of NOR gate is at ‘0’ then its output is ‘1’, otherwise the output is ‘0’. In
CMOS design, the NOR gate consists of two PMOS in series connected to two NMOS in
parallel. The schematic diagram of CMOS NOR gate is shown below.
