 Both the power supply and ground are routed


using the Metal layer
 n+ and p+ regions are denoted using the
same fill pattern. The only difference is the n-

Stick Diagram
Stick Diagrams
• Cartoon of a layout.
• Shows all components.
• Does not show exact placement, transistor sizes,
wire lengths, wire widths, boundaries, or any
other form of compliance with layout or design rules.
• Useful for interconnect visualization, preliminary layout
layout compaction, power/ground routing, etc.
