the slope is the steepest in the saturation region
hi, just see the vo-vin characteristics of an inverter, dvo/dvin (ie the gain) is maximum when both the transistors are in saturation, so its obvious that u have to operate them in saturation.
Both PMOS and NMOS of the inverter should be biased in saturation ,so that we get maximum gain out of the inverter.
