Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit device, including:
a first region;
a second region formed over the first region, the first and the second regions coupled by at least one other contiguous region; and
a temperature sensor circuit including a first portion formed in the first region and a second portion formed in the second region, the second portion including at least one insulated gate field effect transistor (IGFET) formed in the second region, the at least one IGFET including a plurality channels disposed substantially in a first direction and are substantially aligned in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and having a control gate that substantially surrounds the plurality of channels, the plurality of channels provide a controllable impedance path between a first source/drain terminal and a second source/drain terminal, the second source/drain terminal of the at least one IGFET is coupled to the first portion of the temperature sensor circuit.
