    Abstract: A system for detecting a laser attack on an integrated circuit chip formed in a semiconductor substrate, including a detection device capable of detecting voltage variations of the substrate. The system includes P-type first wells and N-type second wells extending in a P-type upper portion of the substrate; an N-type buried layer extending under at least a portion of the first and second wells; biasing contacts for the second wells and the buried layer; ground contacts for the first wells; and substrate contacts for detecting a substrate voltage, the detection contacts surrounding the first and second wells. The detection device comprises a resistor having a first terminal connected to said ground contacts of the first wells and a second terminal connected to said substrate contacts; and a comparator connected in with the resistor configured to detect a potential difference across the resistor.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a writing error of a datum in memory includes: storing at least two parts of equal size of a binary word representative of said datum at the same address in at least two identical memory circuits, and comparing internal control signals of the two memory circuits to determine existence of the writing error.

    Abstract: The physically unclonable function device (DIS) comprises a set of MOS transistors (TR1i, TR2j) mounted in diodes having a random distribution of respective threshold voltages, and comprising N first transistors and at least one second transistor. At least one output node of the function is capable of delivering a signal, the level of which depends on the comparison between a current obtained using a current circulating in the at least one second transistor and a current obtained using a reference current that is equal or substantially equal to the average of the currents circulating in the N first transistors. A first means (FM1i) is configured to impose on each first transistor a respective fixed gate voltage regardless of the value of the current circulating in the first transistor, and a second means (SM2j) is configured to impose a respective fixed gate voltage on each second transistor regardless of the value of the current circulating in the second transistor.
