    Abstract: Packaged integrated circuits (ICs) of some types, such as processors, are graded and sold according to a performance scale, such as maximum specified clock speed, set by the manufacturer as a result of testing. As a record of this grading some part of the package, usually the upper surface, is marked with the specified performance attribute. However, criminal activity has developed where the packaging is relabelled to show a higher specification so the ICs can be fraudulently resold at a higher price. To address this problem, the invention envisages that manufacturers maintaining a product database for each packaged IC which logs not only the performance specification, but also a digital signature derived from a speckle pattern obtained from the packaging. Subsequently, any packaged IC can be rescanned to interrogate its speckle pattern and recompute the signature. The signature is then used to find the product in the database, whereby the originally specified performance attribute is retrieved. The fraud is then detectable. This method can be used to test products returned under a warranty claim, for example.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting semiconductor integrated circuits from reverse engineering. Semiconductor active areas are formed on a substrate. A silicide layer is formed both over at least one active area of the semiconductor active areas and over a selected substrate area for interconnecting the at least one active area with another area through the silicide area formed on the selected substrate area. In a preferred embodiment a silicide layer formed on a first active area is interconnectingly merged laterally with a silicide layer formed on a second active area through the silicide layer formed on the selected substrate area.

    Abstract: The present invention pertains to semiconductor chips and wafers presenting on at least one face a protective layer applied according to a flame or plasma projection method. The protective layer is mainly ceramic. Between the protective layer and the chip or wafer surface, there can be an intermediate layer made of a non-electroconductive and moisture-proof material. The intermediate layer has an adhesive function and improves the chip or wafer surface protection against chemical and mechanical degradations and makes the unauthorized detection of circuit systems difficult.

    Abstract: A method for securing confidential circuitry from observation by unauthorized inspection, and a secure circuit immune from unauthorized inspection according to the method. In one embodiment, confidential data or circuitry is placed on a face of separate silicon layers (42, 44), each silicon layer having part of a circuit. Neither silicon layer is intelligible without the other, yet neither can be observed without destroying the other. The two silicon layers are juxtaposed, the face of the first silicon layer (42) flush against and fused to the face of the second silicon layer (44), the confidential circuits on each silicon layer connecting directly with circuits on the other silicon layer without external connectors. Data stored on each face is erased or destroyed when the silicon layers are separated or one of the silicon layers is destroyed. Violence to either silicon layer, or exposure of either silicon layer to light, destroys the data or circuitry on at least one silicon layer of silicon, making the data or circuitry unreadable.
