This project aims to identify the fabrication facility for a given integrated circuit. With today’s globalized supply chain, security has never been more important. This allows proper identification of which foundry fabricated the chips in critical systems with an inherently tamper proof signature.  Not only will this increase security of the supply chain, but also may save lives when applied in military or automotive applications.

This project aims to determine the fabrication facility of a given chip. Using physical device parameters, an electromagnetic signature is generated simply by producing the chip. This signature is not stored in any memory location and is easily read out by a trusted party, making it reliable and impractical to clone. Untrusted foundries looking to fabricate their products at older technology nodes to reduce production costs will be caught, as well as foundries attempting to damage another company’s reputation by selling defective products under their name.
