ABSTRACT:
A temperature sensor contains a bipolar transistor adjacent a cell array of a power MOSFET or IGBT. In order to detect temperature independently of a voltage drop across the power semiconductor component, a zone of the same conduction type is disposed between the cell array and a base zone. That zone is connected to a fixed bias voltage.
