Bulk-Si ICs cannot operate over 150degC, due to the reverse bias leakage current of the p-n junction in MOSFETs or diode components. In this paper, we investigated a work function type temperature ...

A new type of the silicon cryogenic diode temperature sensors (DTSs) with advanced technical characteristics has been developed on the base of highly doped n/sup ++/-p/sup +/ structures. For expansion ...
