Design a CMOS LNA, got IIP3=1.5dBm, Which don't meet the requirement? Anyone know how to improve IIP3?
You have to be more specific. What frequency? What transistors are used? At what bias (drain voltage and drain current if a FET or GaAs FET is used).
In some cases increasing the drain current for a FET may improve IIP3, but then noise figure can be degraded.
Make it differential, increase Vsg-Vt, moderate your gain ... as simple as it is

the most common method is to use feedback, for example using inductor, resistor or capacitor as emitter(or source) degeneration. of course increasing current is a method. however, it all depends on your circuits and your requriements, especially other specs. There are tradeoffs betwenen linearity, noise and gain.
