    摘要: A camouflaged interconnection for interconnecting two spaced-apart implanted regions of a common conductivity type in an integrated circuit or device and a method of forming same. The camouflaged interconnection comprises a first implanted region forming a conducting channel between the two spaced-apart implanted regions, the conducting channel being of the same common conductivity type and bridging a region between the two spaced-apart regions, and a second implanted region of opposite conductivity to type, the second implanted region being disposed between the two spaced-apart implanted regions of common conductivity type and over lying the conducting channel to camouflage the conducting channel from reverse engineering.

    摘要: An integrated circuit is protected from reverse engineering by connecting doped circuit elements of like conductivity with a doped implant in the substrate, rather than with a metallized interconnect. The doped circuit elements and their corresponding implant interconnections can be formed in a common fabrication step with common implant masks, such that they have an integral structure with similar dopant concentrations. The metallization above the substrate surface can be designed to provide further masking of the interconnects, and microbridges can be added to span strips of transistor gate material in the interconnect path.

    摘要: A method and circuit for blocking unauthorized access to at least one memory cell in a semiconductor memory. The method includes providing a switch and/or a link which assumes an open state when access to the at least one memory cell is to be blocked; and coupling a data line associated with the at least one memory cell to a constant voltage source in response to the switch or link assuming an open state.

    摘要: An integrated digital circuit is protected from reverse engineering by fabricating all transistors of like conductivity with a common size and geometric layout, providing a common layout for different logic cells, connecting doped circuit elements of like conductivity with electrically conductive doped implants in the substrate rather than metalized interconnections, and providing non-functional apparent interconnections that are interrupted by non-discernable channel stops so that all cells falsely appear to have a common interconnection scheme. The camouflage is enhanced by providing a uniform pattern of metal leads over the transistor array, with a uniform pattern of heavily doped implant taps from the transistors for connection to the leads; undesired tap-lead connections are blocked by channel stops.

    摘要: Connections between implanted regions in a semiconductor substrate, such as the sources or drains of adjacent transistors, are made by buried conductive implants rather than upper level metalizations. The presence or absence of a connection between two implanted regions is camouflaged by implanting a conductive buried layer of the same doping conductivity as the implanted regions when a connection is desired, and a field implant of opposite conductivity to the implanted regions when no connection is desired, and forming steps into the substrate at the boundaries of the buried layer or field implant that mask the steps formed between different conductivity regions during a selective etch by a reverse engineer. The masking steps are preferably formed by field oxide layers that terminate at the boundaries of the buried layers and field implants.
