Hi In TSMC 65nm, I have designed a dynamic Logic NAND gate and it is followed by an inverter(I used PMOS and NMOS same size) to make an AND gate. In a 3x8 decoder, when two of the inputs are logic 1, i.e, Ain2 = 1, Ain1 = 1 and Ain0=0. Ain2 and Ain1 are closer to Vdd and Ain0 is closer to ground. What I see in this case is that the output of NAND gate is pulled down and the inverter is inverting it. Clearly it is not doing its job correctly. I realized that I need to increase the transistor sizes in the inverter. Could someone confirm whether it is valid fix or am I missing anything? How do I decide how much should be transistor sizes in the inverter.
