CMOS Inverter design for comparison between NAND and NOR CMOS gate
Figure 1. The schematic diagram of the CMOS inverter with one nMOS at the bottom and one pMOS at the top . Gate Design
Logic Simulation
Figure 2. Voltage vs Time analysis from Inverter From design above, we can see the waveform is consistent with truth table, so this design was correct and that rise and fall time is 4 ps Truth table of CMOS Inverter Input Output Logic Logic 0 1 1 0
Rise time from CMOS Inverter is 4 ps Fall time from CMOS Inverter is 4 ps Inverter design above was designed from scratch or not using chip generator because the limitation of default layout. Manual design with strict restriction to design rule, we get (W/L)p = 15, and (W/L)n = 5. So inverter design for (Wp/Wl) = 15/5 = 3 we got latency or delay 4 ps.

Figure 5. Voltage vs Time analysis from NAND gate From design above, we can see the waveform is consistent with truth table, so this design was correct and From design above, we can see that rise and fall time is 4 ps Truth table of NAND Gate A B Out 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 NAND gate Delay Rise time from NAND gate is 4 ps Fall time from NAND gate is 4 ps NAND gate design above was designed from scratch because the goal is to match the delay with inverter. Manual design with strict restriction to design rule, we get (W/L)p = 6, and (W/L)n = 3. So NAND gate design for (Wp/Wl) = 6/3 = 2 we got latency or delay 4 ps. This result may not be following the nature of electron mobility and hole mobility, which is PMOS gate must be at least 3 times of NMOS width. This is because PMOS gate is arranged with parallel position and NMOS in serial fashion.

From design above, we can see the waveform is consistent with truth table, so this design was correct and From design above, we can see that rise and fall time is 6 ps Truth table of NAND Gate A B Out 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 NOR gate Delay Rise time from NAND gate is 6 ps Fall time from NAND gate is 6 ps NOR gate design above was designed from scratch because the goal is to match the delay with inverter. Manual design with strict restriction to design rule, we get (W/L)p = 17, and (W/L)n = 5. So NOR gate design for (Wp/Wl) = 17/5 = 3,5 we got latency or delay 6 ps. Questions 1. Only NAND gate which can match the delay of inverter with 4 ps delay. (W/L)p = 6 (W/L)n = 3 2. NOR gate have bigger size than NAND gate because the PMOS in NOR gate arranged in serial fashion
