The following screenshots show some example layouts from a hypothetical
technology and a hypothetical layout (hypothetically a ring oscillator).
</p>
<p>
For a full view, click on the screenshot images.
</p>
<h2>First example</h2>
<p>
The first example is a simple design consisting of 20 inverter cells lined up
and connected with their outputs to the inputs of the next.
The feedback connects the output of the second-last inverter to
the input of the first. The last inverter is used as a buffer for
the output signal.
</p>
<p>
Since we use a odd number of inverters, there is no static state the
circuit can settle to. Instead, the circuit will start to oscillate
with a frequency determined by the delay of the inverters.
</p>
<p>
For practical purposes however, one would need a more elaborate design.
Please note, that this is a hypothetical and not a real-world design.
</p>
<p class="img-title">

</p>
<h2>Second example</h2>
<p>
The second example is the same circuit with a area optimized layout.
In this example, two inverters are made into a single cell sharing the
source contacts with each other. This way, one transistor spacing is
saved. The price to pay is the larger height required for the wiring.
