for PMOS, is it something like this? I cant seem to find PMOS formula for this on the internet. Most of them shows the one in my lecture note

where |Vgs| = Vsg and |Vth| is VTHP

Hi,

The only difference i've seen so far is the subscripts they use:
Wn, Ln for NMOS
Wp, Lp for PMOS
IDn for NMOS
-IDp for PMOS (different sign)

I think gm is positive for both because the gate voltage is probably considered negative too for PMOS, but you can check into this.
