Why is it required that the NMOS and PMOS transistors at the inverter have different W/L ratios?
 

Difference between electrons and holes mobility causes different current gain factor in pmos and nmos so to obtain the same rise/fall time in cmos inverter the W/L ration of pmos should be ~3 times higher.
