Gate sizing is a fundamental technique in VLSI design, where the dimensions of transistors and gates are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal performance, minimise power consumption and reduce delay.

Tools: Electric VLSI and Silvaco’s Greenpak. →Shift register and Boolean Logic units. This is an effort to layout a CPU based on the Von Neumann architecture.
