R07.04.01.01-T01 Lay out a sky130 CMOS inverter in Magic that passes DRC and LVS

Original instruction

Schematic fixtures/inv/inv.sch (xschem) defines an inverter: nfet W=0.65 L=0.15, pfet W=1.3 L=0.15, pins A, Y, VPWR, VGND. In Magic with the sky130A tech file, draw layout inv.mag with poly gate, diffusions, contacts, n-well with tap, substrate tap and met1 pins labelled exactly as the schematic. Save inv.mag and write inv.gds.

Proposed verifier

Batch magic -dnull: 'drc check' count 0 on inv.mag; ext2spice + netgen LVS vs xschem netlist: 'Circuits match uniquely'; device W/L equal schematic; 4 labelled ports.
