Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator to monitor temperature in an integrated circuit. Fabricating the resonator in an interconnect layer provides a way to implement thermal detection means which is tolerant of manufacturing process variations. Sensor readout and control circuits can be on silicon if desired, for example, a positive feedback amplifier to form an oscillator in conjunction with the resonator and a counter to count oscillator frequency.
