I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for 0 n8 t3 h4 U! @7 ]5 x' y' j2 g
# C. |# O1 B& {. h* u, Mthe "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take 9 v4 U) {4 E3 {! C( U

on this:
: T4 X; m$ E5 J0 k7 K! B/ Z" _
* O! z7 R2 Q" U1 l1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current
* S4 [; r2 W$ F0 v+ a$ t, x* T9 C& P/ r7 C* `1 o5 i6 X
that is probably not modeled for the "diode".

There is, of course, nothing preventing the use of a P+/Nwell diode in your application. |
