Clock skew is the phenomenon wherein clock signal arrives
at different components at different times.
There are two types of clock skews. Positive clock skew
means that clock siganl reaches receiving register faster
than the register that sends the data to the receiver.
Negative skew is the opposite.

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
