Abstract
A new bipolar device, fully CMOS compatible, that properly detects and amplifies the leakage current of a reverse-biased bulk junction is presented. The amplification factor is the current gain h FE of the bipolar transistor which is maximised and independent of all spurious and less reproducible surface and space-charge recombination mechanisms
