Abstract:
The present disclosure introduces integrated circuits and related manufacturing methods, wherein each integrated circuit includes an electronic device and a thermoelectric circuit. The electronic device is formed in and/or over a semiconductor substrate. The thermoelectric circuit includes thermopiles formed in and/or over the semiconductor substrate and electrically connected in series. The thermoelectric circuit is configured to modulate operation of the electronic device in response to a potential produced by the plurality of thermopiles.
