 The ''stat'' parameters are used to size any automatically generated non-feedback inverter in a staticizer. 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>

 This is used to determine the hierarchy separator when generating SPICE output. Different SPICE tools use different separators, so this can be used to customize SPICE file generation. This is used to determine the hierarchy separator when generating SPICE output.
