This simulates a diode. The simulated diode characteristics are:

@li I_s: Diode saturation current
@li V_T: Thermal voltage = kT/4 = 25mV at 20 C
@li n: Emission coefficient, typically between 1 and 2
@li V_RB: Reverse breakdown (large negative voltage)
@li G_RB: Reverse breakdown conductance
@li R_D: Base resistance of diode

@short Simulates the electrical property of diode-ness
