Question 1
What is the main purpose of post-layout simulation?
- To verify schematic connections only
- To assess circuit performance including parasitics
- To document design errors
💡 Hint: Think about what you learned about the effect of layout.
Question 2
True or False: Parasitic extraction is performed after the layout has been created.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: When do we add parasitics to the simulation?

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a NAND gate that has shown a 50% delay increase due to parasitic effects, suggest three design improvements that could help reduce this delay in future iterations.
💡 Hint: Consider layout changes that minimize the impact of parasitics.
Question 2
Analyze how the propagation delay in an XOR gate could be affected differently than in a basic NAND gate during post-layout simulation with parasitics accounted for.
💡 Hint: Think about the number of transistors and their arrangement in each gate.
