From Symbols to Silicon: What Logic Gates Really Look Like
This video shows a quick overview of physically designing logic gates. Designing a symbol, circuit and layout is an involved process which requires digital design expertise and proficiency with a simulation tool, in my case I'm using Cadence. I want to bring the layout concept to a wide audience so I am overly simplifying the entire process. Keep in mind that the layout designs in this video do not represent a universally agreed upon design but rather a design that is easiest to visually understand. Layout designs can be far more efficient than what is shown in this video.
