Abstract
An integrated circuit having a reference device and method of forming the same. A reference device is disclosed having: a fully depleted n-type MOSFET implemented as a long channel device having a substantially undoped body; and a fully depleted p-type MOSFET implemented with as a long channel device having a substantially undoped body; wherein the n-type MOSFET and p-type MOSFET are connected in series and employ identical gate stacks, wherein each has a gate electrically coupled to a respective drain to form two diodes, and wherein both diodes are in one of an on state and an off state according to a value of an electrical potential applied across the n-type MOSFET and p-type MOSFET.
