Abstract
Methods and apparatus providing a vertically constructed, temperature sensing resistor are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate including a plurality of resistor unit cells arranged in an array, each resistor unit cell formed within the semiconductor substrate and including a top contact. A conductive layer located over the semiconductor substrate electrically connects to a subset of the top contacts.
