The Inverter

Introduction
The purpose of this lab is to create an inverter in Electic.

Materials and Method
Electric

Results
Task 1: Create the schematic of the inverter. (25 points)
We are to create the schematic of the inverter using a PMOS and NMOS transistor.


Figure 1: Inverter schematic created in Electric, its icon, DRC check, and simulation results.

To verify the inverter, we can simulate the circuit.


Figure 2: Results from the inverter and the Spice code.

Task 2: Create the layout of the inverter. (25 points)
Now, we want to create the layout for the inverter.


Figure 3: Layout of the inverter created in Electric, also, showing no errors.

Task 3: Use the multiplier to build a larger inverter. (25 points)

.Now to create a large inverter using Electric multiplier.

Task 4: Run simulations to verify the driving capability of these two different inverters. (25 points)

For this portion, we are to use the icon for our simulations. We need to attach the inverter to a 100f, 1p, and 10p capacitor.
