In recent years, the demand for low power devices has grown significantly. This growth is mainly due to the fast
growth of battery-operated semiconductor devices such as cell phone, tablets, laptop etc. Reducing power consumption and
surface area in integrated circuit is an important factor for both portable and desktop applications. In this paper an inverter
and its layout have been designed using PMOS and NMOS transistors. The result has been compared in terms of power
consumption and surface area. The simulated results show that semi-custom layout of an inverter consumes 52.5% more
power and 35.9% more surface area than the full custom layout of inverter
