Abstract
A semiconductor structure having a temperature sensor placed in close proximity to gate and source and/or drain electrodes. The sensor is compatible with conventional semiconductor processing and is typically made from doped polysilicon having a large temperature coefficient of resistivity. At least one sensor may be placed under, but insulated from, source or drain electrodes to protect against high electric fields. The sensor is also compatible with bipolar semiconductor structures.
