Abstract:
A method includes measuring a first voltage across a test diode on a semiconductor wafer while injecting a first current into the test diode, measuring a second voltage across the test diode while injecting a second current into the test diode, and determining temperature of a region proximate the test diode according to difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.
