I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for
$ g2 l* h6 p& Q+ A& f4 |
0 {/ m2 y% R4 K& R. R/ P* \the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take 1 m! K0 K5 r6 Y/ N3 d( m& K5 [* g

1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current 7 e" c/ q) p8 t

that is probably not modeled for the "diode".: V/ e5 J% u$ p/ @

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

3- The additional structure of the bipolar should help prevent current injection into other substrate tied 5 G& J- L# @2 q! s

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