Delaying a signal voltage

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of an IC that would help me out. I am putting a CMOS voltage from a microprocessor into an inverter gate. The original signal and the inverted one go to the same device. The problem I am having is that I need a bit of dead time between the two signals - well, more than what I am getting.

I need around a 500ns delay in the signal. Is there any type of IC (maybe a delayed buffer or something) that I could do this with?

I know I could probably do something like chain a heap of inverter gates together, but that is kind of a crummy solution.

Thanks
 

hi,
What type is the CMOS inverter gate.?

You could use a 40106 Schmitt inverter, add a low value resistor in series with input and a very small cap from the input to 0V.
Take off the the non inverted signal before the resistor. OK.?

Thanks guys. I think I will try Eric's solution, it's simpler and I really need something simple here.
