Abstract: A private key of a public-private key pair with a corresponding identity is written to an integrated circuit including a processor, a non-volatile memory, and a cryptographic engine coupled to the processor and the non-volatile memory. The private key is written to the non-volatile memory. The integrated circuit is implemented in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor 14 nm or smaller technology. The integrated circuit is permanently modified, subsequent to the writing, such that further writing to the non-volatile memory is disabled and such that the private key can be read only by the cryptographic engine and not off-chip. Corresponding integrated circuits and wafers are also disclosed.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein facilitate performing bipolar switching of a confined phase change memory (PCM) with a metallic liner, wherein the phase change memory and the metallic liner are located between a first electrode and a second electrode of a semiconductor structure, wherein a first voltage is applied to the first electrode while the second electrode is grounded, and wherein a second voltage is applied to the second electrode while the first electrode is grounded. The bipolar switching can be performed so as to produce a plurality of resistance states. Thus, this confined PCM can be utilized as a multi-level cell (MLC) memory.
