LVS mean layout versus schematic.What it actually mean is, it compares between the layout.xp file which was been created from layout and the netlist of schematic.If any mismatch in the connections it will show errors.Now what is layout.xp is, first layout creates gds file through that gds file layout.xp file will be created(we can say this as netlist of layout)and comparision between them takes place while we run lvs..
DRC mean it is just design rules check.It checks complete layout if there are any violations in the layout with respect to the technology files (like spacings enclosers,widths,areas,endcaps ete etc) it will generate errors..

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.
