The Harmonic Distortion is an important merit figure for low-power low-voltage analog Complementary MetalOxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs) applications. This paper performs an experimental comparative study of the Harmonic Distortion between the Diamond (Hexagonal gate shape, DM) and Conventional MOSFET (Rectangular gate geometry, CM) by using the commercial 0.18 Όm Bulk CMOS ICs manufacturing process from TSMC. The Integral Function Method is used to obtain the total harmonic distortion (THD) of MOSFETs. The main results of this work show that the Diamond layout style for MOSFETs, with alpha (α) angle equal to 135° can improve the THD about 22% as compared to the one measured in CM counterpart.
