    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for providing semiconductor chip security using piezoelectricity. According to an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that comprises an integrated circuit chip comprising a pass transistor that electrically connects two or more electrical components of the integrated circuit chip. The apparatus further comprises a piezoelectric element electrically connected to a gate electrode of the pass transistor; and a packaging component that is physically connected to the piezoelectric element and applies a mechanical force to the piezoelectric element, wherein the piezoelectric element generates and provides a voltage to the gate electrode as a result of the mechanical force, thereby causing the pass transistor to be in an on-state. In one implementation, the two or more electrical components comprise a circuit and a power source. In another implementation, the two or more electrical components comprise two circuits.

    Abstract: A method of forming an end-bonded contact on a semiconductor is disclosed herein. The method can include forming a dielectric layer on a substrate and depositing a carbon nanotube layer onto the dielectric layer. Additionally, the method can include depositing a resist mask onto the carbon nanotube layer and patterning the resist mask to form a contact mold such that a portion of the carbon nanotube layer is exposed. In some aspects, the method can include depositing a contact metal such that the contact metal contacts the exposed carbon nanotube layer and thermally annealing the device such that the carbon nanotube layer dissolves into the contact metal such that a single contact surface is formed between the contact and the carbon nanotube layer.
