Which gate is normally preferred while implementing circuits
using CMOS logic, NAND or NOR? Why?

Answer Posted / khush

NAND is better than NOR, because in a NOR gate we have PMOS
transistors in series and when we enlarge transistor widths
gate capacitance and diffusion capacitance go up and
partially negate the benefits of widening the transistors so
very wide PMOS transistors are super capacitive. Hence we
prefer NANDs.
