Add Body Diode to NMOS and PMOS DevicesΒ #5412

Description

@eliwiel
  • I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the current version, the Electrical/Transistors templates include symbols for NMOS and PMOS, however these symbols do not show the inherent body diode that exists in these devices. In the Electrical Engineering world, these devices are often drawn with their body diode explicitly drawn as the behavior of an NMOS or PMOS in a circuit can be greatly affected by this body diode.

Currently I try to manually add a diode in to my symbols, but when placing, rotating, and scaling many components I spend a lot of time fixing the connection issues that arise.

Example of NMOS and PMOS symbols with body diode included.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add two symbols, "NMOS with Body Diode" and "PMOS with Body Diode" to the Electrical/Transistors template based on the image shown above.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered sticking with the current symbols, however I believe many people would benefit from this updated symbol.
