    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide self-calibrated thermal sensors of an integrated circuit (IC) die and associated techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, a self-calibrating thermal sensing device includes a resonator configured to oscillate at a frequency corresponding with a temperature of circuitry of an integrated circuit (IC) die, wherein the resonator is thermally coupled with the circuitry and configured to operate in a first mode and a second mode and logic operatively coupled with the resonator, and configured to calculate a first temperature corresponding with a first frequency of the resonator in the first mode using a first equation, calculate a second temperature corresponding with a second frequency of the resonator in the second mode using a second equation, and add an offset to the first equation and the second equation based on a result of a comparison of the first temperature and the second temperature. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a temperature-sensing circuit for a semiconductor device. The circuit has a remote temperature-sensing element (RTSE) including a metal thermistor formed in a metal layer on the front side or backside of a substrate. The metal thermistor may be serpentine or spiral shaped. The RTSE communicates with a separate sense circuit at another location such as on the substrate. The RTSE can further include a thin film resistor (TFR) in an adjacent dielectric layer of the stack or within the sense circuit. The RTSE is driven alternately at opposing ends to cancel out the effects of power supply variations. An output voltage which represents a sensed temperature is obtained from a point between the metal thermistor and the TFR for processing by an analog-to-digital converter.
