Compact BJT-Based Thermal Sensor for Processor Applications in a 14 nm tri-Gate CMOS Process

Compact thermal sensors ( 50 kS/sec, consumes 1.1 mW with a resolution of 0.5 °C, and has a resolution FOM of 5.7 nJ * C 2 . It is very close to the present BJT sensor state-of-the-art in its size, while being much faster and having a much better FOM than any of the compact BJT sensors.
