Creates a PNP Bipolar Junction Transistor following a modified Ebers-Moll model. Includes an optional substrate pin and optional Early voltage effect.

# Structural Parameters
    - `use_substrate`: If `true`, a substrate pin connector is available. If `false` it is 
    assumed the substrate is connected to the collector pin.

    - `use_Early`: If `true`, the Early effect is modeled, which takes in to account the effect 
    collector-base voltage variations have on the collector-base depletion region. In many cases this
    effectively means that the collector current has a dependency on the collector-emitter voltage.

    - `use_advanced_continuation`: When false, the `C_jC` and `C_jE` non-linear capacitance curves use 
    a simplified linear continuation starting when `V_CB` and `V_EB` are 0, respectively. If `true`, the `Z_C` and `Z_E` parameters 
    are used to start the linear continuation at `Phi_C - Z_C` and `Phi_E - Z_E`.
