Single CMOS NOT Gate/Inverter

Ever needed a single inverter without having to take up valuable board space with a 14-pin hex inverter chip? If so, this is an instructable for you. This is a very easy logic gate to make, it only requires two components. Although it seems like one of the more complex logic gates, it is actually probably the simplest to make. It only takes a few minutes to make, fits on a 4x4 stripboard, and connects via a 4-pin header (Vcc, GND, A, and Q).

Step 1 The Parts

Here is what you'll need for this instructable:
1x  N-channel MOSFET (Can't be a JFET). I used a 2N7000.
1x P-channel MOSFET (Can't be a JFET). I used a ZVP3306A.
1x 4-pin PCB header
 1x 4x4 piece of stripboard (matrix board works too. I usually avoid stripboard, but in this instance, it only requires one cut and join, so it's easier to use than matrix board, and a bit cheaper).
+Usual tools (Cutters, pliers, soldering iron+solder, saw for cutting board, stripboard cutting tool, small drill bit, or knife)

Thats neet ill have to try it
