SCMOS Layout Rules - Pbase (Analog Option)

The pbase layer is an active area that is implanted with the pbase implant to form the base of the NPN bipolar transistor. The base contact is enclosed in p-select. The emitter is an n-select region within (and on top of) the base. The entire pbase sits in an n-well that is the collector. The collector contact is a well contact, but the overlaps are larger. Active should not be used inside of pbase.
