DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THERMAL REACTIONS IN MONOLITHIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

1. Device for the reduction of the temperature variation speeds within a semi-conductor substrate of a thermally conducting monolithic integrated circuit, comprising within the substrate means responding to the temperature of the substrate, means producing heat within the substrate and control means elctrically connecting the temperature-responsive means to the heat-producing means in a manner to cause the latter to modify the quantity of heat produced, said modification being produced in a sense opposite to that of the temperature variations, characterized in that the control means cause the quantity of produced heat to vary only during the duration of the temperature variations and to restore the quantity of heat produced to a constant level when the temperature is stable, this constant level being independent of the value of this stable temperature.
