There are methods to stabilise CC against temperature (and voltage) variations. Against process variations you need an external CC or CV comparison source.
If you want process-invariant, you either need an
invariant process (good luck) or a trimming scheme.
And since "natural" tempco also carries some process
sensitivity, double down on that.
Use a bandgap reference as a process independent voltage source. Then use a voltage to current converter. Use an external resistor, or use trimming with an internal resistor. When using internal resistor + trimming the addition of a NTAT current sink in parallel to the resistor may be necessary to get temperature independence.
you can combine n and p type resistors in series, which have different tempcos, to create a resistor that cancels the tempco of delta-Vbe. Make the resistors physically large to minimize the impact of process variation. delta-Vbe is not very process sensitive
