CMOS Inverter

Descriptive editorial chapter guide; not a speech transcript or complete action log. GUI states and native outcomes are edited; repetition, checks and waiting are condensed.

External controller using native CUA Driver MCP; separate from NorthCUA checkpoint benchmarks.

A prepared Virtuoso/Spectre environment is used to build and simulate a 1 V CMOS inverter. An uncommitted input edit is corrected to 0.5 V before checking operating points. The paper reports an interpolated crossing near 0.498 V and signed device currents of +5.778 and −5.778 microamps at nominal 0.5 V. Constructed MOS1 teaching models are used.
