CMOS Inverter Layout in Cadence Virtuoso | GPDK 45nm Technology | Cadence Layout Tutorial

In this video, I demonstrate how to design a CMOS inverter schematic and layout in Cadence Virtuoso using the GPDK 45nm technology. The video covers basic CMOS inverter design concepts, including NMOS and PMOS transistor sizing, width ratio selection, and finger-based layout methodology. You will learn how to create the inverter schematic, set transistor parameters, and convert the schematic into a layout using proper layout practices. I also explain finger splitting, poly gate alignment, diffusion sharing, and clean layout techniques commonly used in CMOS inverter design. This tutorial is especially useful for VLSI students, beginners, and anyone learning Cadence Virtuoso for CMOS circuit design and layout. It is helpful for university labs, interview preparation, and understanding fundamental inverter layout concepts in 45nm CMOS technology. #CMOSInverter #CadenceVirtuoso #VLSI #InverterLayout #GPDK45nm #TransistorSizing
