7 DISCUSSION
1. What is the function of stick diagram in integrated circuit layout design?
Understanding Connectivity: Stick diagrams help designers understand the connectivity between
different components in the IC. By representing transistors, gates, and interconnections as simple
geometric shapes and lines, designers can easily grasp the flow of signals within the circuit.

2. State the color codes for stick diagram.
I)Black or Solid Lines: Denote active areas, which represent regions where
transistors are located.
II)Red Lines: Represent N-well regions, which are used in CMOS technology to
create the P-channel transistors.
IV)Green Lines: Indicate polysilicon layers, which are used for gate electrodes.
V)Yellow Lines: Denote metal layers, which are used for interconnecting
different components in the IC.
VI)Brown Lines: Represent the substrate, usually the bulk silicon material.
3. Explain the use of metal2 layer in designing the layout of logic gates IC in Part E.
Interconnecting Components: The Metal2 layer provides a means to connect different
components of the IC, including transistors, resistors, and capacitors. Logic gates consist of
multiple transistors arranged in a specific configuration. The Metal2 layer facilitates the
interconnection of these transistors to create functional logic gates.
8 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I able to designed the layout of the following logic gates such 2-input NAND
gate and 2-input AND gate with no error. After that, I got the correct output by simulated
(Voltage vs Time) the layout of each gate. Then, I measured the optimized area of the layout
(the unit is λ 2 ) by got the answer for (Length x Width). Lastly, I designed the layout for IC
4011/ IC 4081/ IC 4001 / IC 4071. I also did the same thing by collect it is output timing
diagram and area of the layout. Overall, I successfully finish my task for Practical Work 3
