Abstract
A micro-electronic bond degradation sensor includes a sensor substrate having sensor circuitry and a sensor stud and a power stud extending therefrom. The sensor circuitry includes a voltage-to-current amplifier having an input coupled to sensor stud and an output coupled to the power stud. The voltage-to-current amplifier is operable to convert a voltage signal occurring along the sensor stud to a current signal output along the power stud.
