This document discusses stick diagrams and Boolean functions for a lab assignment on implementing AND and OR gates using CMOS transistors. Students are asked to submit the transistor-level circuit, layout, and simulations for the gates in the next lab. The document provides information on stick diagrams, including color coding, rules, and examples of stick diagrams for a CMOS inverter and NOR gate. It also discusses implementing Boolean functions using individual CMOS inverters versus a layout approach.

Stick Diagram & Boolean Function

Stick Diagram Acts as an interface between transistor level circuit and the actual layout Useful for planning layout Stick diagrams convey layer information through color codes Does show all components/contacts Does not show exact placement of components, transistor sizes, wire lengths, wire widths etc

Stick Diagram Rules Rule # 1
When STICKS of same type touch or cross each other that
represents an electrical contact
Lab Engr : Sara Nawaz
Rule # 2
When two or more sticks of different type cross or touch each
other there is no electrical contact If electrical contact is needed we have to show the connection explicitly
Lab Engr : Sara Nawaz
Rule # 3
When a poly crosses diffusion it represents a transistor
If a contact is shown then it is not a transistor
Lab Engr : Sara Nawaz
Rule # 4
Avoid touching of p-diff with n-diff
All PMOS must lie on one side and all NMOS will have to be on the other side
