    Abstract: Techniques for use of carbon nanotubes as an anti-tampering feature and for use of randomly metallic or semiconducting carbon nanotubes in the generation of a physically unclonable cryptographic key generation are provided. In one aspect, a cryptographic key having an anti-tampering feature is provided which includes: an array of memory bits oriented along at least one bit line and at least one word line, wherein each of the memory bits comprises a memory cell, wherein the cryptographic key is stored in the memory cell, and wherein the memory cell is connected to the at least one bit line; and a metallic carbon nanotube interconnect which connects the memory cell to the at least one word line. A cryptographic key and method for processing the cryptographic key are also provided.

    Abstract: A field effect transistor includes a substrate and a gate dielectric formed on the substrate. A channel material is formed on the dielectric layer. The channel material includes carbon nanotubes. A patterned resist layer has openings formed therein. Metal contacts are formed on the channel material in the openings in the patterned resist layer and over portions of the patterned resist layer to protect sidewalls of the metal contacts to prevent degradation of the metal contacts.
