decreasing thd of an opamp

Specification:
Operating range(VCC) :8-10v
output loading: RL=10k,CL=100pF
Gain: >=70dB@VCC=9V
PSRR: 80dB@VCC=9V,power ripple=0.2Vrms,1KHz
GBW: >=8M@VCC=9V
Phase Margin: >=45 degree @VCC=9V
Vin_max: >=7.5V@VCC=9V
Vin_min: <=1.5V@VCC=9V
Output swing: 2Vrms@RL=10K,CL=100pF,THD<0.2%,VCC=9V
Quiescent Current: <=1mA@VCC=9V, no load
Max offset: <2mV
Die area: <=60000 um2
Process: 1um,9V CMOS process
The main specification is offset-voltage.This is difficult for me,because only five PADs can used(VCC,GND,INN,INP,OUT).So, I can't use auto-zero or trimming techniques.
Anyone knows other method about offset-voltage reduction?
Please help me.My email address: muldersun@hotmail.com
I'll appreciate.

Best regards,

Try to increase the input stae sizing and decrease the input stage tail current.

Please pay attention to you layout, symmetry is needed.

but the two methods is hardly to decrease the offset to lower than 2mv, any better method?
 

Re: Help: About opamp design

I think auto-zero can do this job because this method don't need any external pin.
Only trimming needs more pins to share.

But I think the die area is limited.

the offset is mainly caused by the gain of the two input stages ,can the AGC be used here?
