(SoC) to provide information about die temperature for thermal protection or performance optimization. To enable the deployment of multiple sensors in an SoC, the power and size of such sensors has been steadily reduced. Although most solutions are PNP-based [1-4], recently a low-power NPN-based currentmode thermal sensor [5] was implemented to meet the power and form-factor requirement with a robust architecture. However, since NPN devices are only available in a triple-well process, its use in low-cost dual-well processes is limited. This paper demonstrates a current-mode hybrid thermal sensor in an advanced 22nm FinFET process [6] based on subthreshold NMOS transistors and a parasitic PNP [7]. A simple voltage-based single-point soft-trimming was implemented to mitigate the sensitivity of the sensor to the subthreshold factor variability during
