Abstract
In a temperature sensor section of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, wires of the topmost wiring layer of a multi-layer wiring structure are formed. A sheet-like temperature monitor element of vanadium oxide is provided between two of the wires in such a way as to cover the two wires. Accordingly, the temperature monitor element is connected between the two wires of an underlying wiring layer of the multi-layer wiring structure through two vias and the two wires of the topmost wiring layer.
