Custom IC design requires if the circuit has to be designed to
meet the maximum possible performance requirements.
In this case the transistor parameters are tuned to meet the
required overall circuit performance
This kind of design methodology is specifically used
in analog design , mixed signals design and RF design

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
