Deep N Well to isolate nmos devices

deep N wells are used in customized analog layouts where (a) nmos base voltage is not connected to ground (e.g. to avoid body effect), or (b) noise reduction is important. In the latter case, by putting nmos's P well in an n-well/ ring, P substrate noise cannot go to nmos device pins. More details in this post from Planet Analog.
