I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for K* W! x( S7 ^. S! N
. i+ l& ~* R) ~9 z( f9 s& ]6 B
the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take
# _# m$ e" v2 V+ L$ P, Q4 `6 F7 q2 Q! f; |
on this:6 G" u$ V( z5 H7 O6 C- Y/ L
# x/ C4 H' `2 I0 a z1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current 1 l. _& ^1 r5 {" Q) V

that is probably not modeled for the "diode".

2- There usually is a specific structure for the "bipolar" that has characterization data available. When

building a bandgap structure, the good characterization is needed in order to properly determine the tempco of 3 x/ r+ f5 P% A M' b+ z+ [% N
