I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for
+ Q7 @- Z* j% s ?7 V5 v( ^9 Y* z" O' ]
the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take

1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current + s4 ?) B* M& w+ C) E

that is probably not modeled for the "diode".

3- The additional structure of the bipolar should help prevent current injection into other substrate tied
