  • Transistor
    Publication number: 20050270869
    Abstract: A transistor has a cell array with two or more transistor cells, a temperature sensor, which is integrated in the cell array or is adjacent to the cell array, and an isolation structure. The isolation structure isolates the temperature sensor from the cell array, and has an isolation trench, which is arranged between the cell array and the temperature sensor. The distance between the temperature sensor and the active transistor cell that is closest to the temperature sensor corresponds approximately to the pitch between active transistor cells within the cell array.

  • Temperature sensor for a MOS circuit configuration
    Patent number: 6948847
    Abstract: A temperature sensor for a MOS circuit configuration is implemented as the gate of a MOS transistor and configured as a two-terminal network with a gate input and a gate output. By measuring the voltage drop across gate it is possible to determine the temperature at its location.
