If a double poly CMOS process is available, internode parasitics can be minimized.<br />
As an alternative, one should keep the drain/source between the transistors to a minimum<br />
area.<br />

a current mirror load. current source loads. Fig. 6.5-6<br />
In order to improve the <strong>IC</strong>MR, it is desirable to use current source (sink) loads without<br />
losing half the gain.<br />
The resulting solution is the folded cascode op amp.<br />
