These parameters are also used for all transistors in any combinational feedback gate. | The ''stat'' parameters are used to size any automatically generated non-feedback inverter in a staticizer.

If you make them too small, then the design rules for contacts dominate and the layout gets messier.</block> |

''output_scale_factor'' is used to scale the output of all width/length/area/perimeter values; the width and length are multiplied by this scale factor only when printing the SPICE output. | scaled to counteract the global scale factor.
