Discussion
Constructing the inverter in Electric VLSI and simulating them gave an insight on how they are constructed and tested in the real world as well as the importance of spacing for n-wells, p-wells, how they should be alined, and their sizes for resistances. I had some serious difficulty with constructing the bigger inverter because my spacing was incorrect and when trying to connect the various arcs they would connect to other wells that I didn't want them to connect to.
