    Abstract: A physically unclonable function device includes a set of diode-connected MOS transistors having a random distribution of respective threshold voltages. A first circuit is configured to impose, on each first transistor, a fixed respective gate voltage regardless of the value of a current flowing in this first transistor. A second circuit is configured to impose, on each second transistor, a fixed respective gate voltage regardless of the value of a current flowing in this second transistor. A current mirror stage is coupled between the first circuit and the second circuit and is configured to deliver the reference current from a sum of the currents flowing in the first transistors. A comparator is configured to deliver a signal whose level depends on a comparison between a first current obtained from a reference current based on the first transistors and a second current of the second transistors.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first domain supplied with power at a first supply voltage. A first transistor comprising in the first domain includes a first gate region and a first gate dielectric region. A second domain is supply with power at a second supply voltage and includes a second transistor having a second gate region and a second gate dielectric region, the second gate region being biased at a voltage that is higher than the first supply voltage. The first and second gate dielectric regions have the same composition, wherein that composition configures the first transistor in a permanently turned off condition in response to a gate bias voltage lower than or equal to the first supply voltage. The second transistor is a floating gate memory cell transistor, with the second gate dielectric region located between the floating and control gates.

    Abstract: An electronic integrated circuit chip includes a semiconductor substrate with a front side and a back side. A first reflective shield is positioned adjacent the front side of the semiconductor substrate and a second reflective shield is positioned adjacent the back side of the semiconductor substrate. Photons are emitted by a photon source to pass through the semiconductor substrate and bounce off the first and second reflective shields to reach a photon detector at the front side of the semiconductor substrate. The detected photons are processed in order to determine whether to issue an alert indicating the existence of an attack on the electronic integrated circuit chip.
