  • Patent number: 11587890
    Abstract: A tamper-resistant memory is formed by placing a solid-state memory array between metal wiring layers in the upper portion of an integrated circuit (back-end of the line). The metal layers form a mesh that surrounds the memory array to protect it from picosecond imaging circuit analysis, side channel attacks, and delayering with electrical measurement. Interconnections between a memory cell and its measurement circuit are designed to protect each layer below, i.e., an interconnecting metal portion in a particular metal layer is no smaller than the interconnecting metal portion in the next lower layer. The measurement circuits are shrouded by the metal mesh. The substrate, metal layers and memory array are part of a single monolithic structure. In an embodiment adapted for a chip identification protocol, the memory array contains a physical unclonable function identifier that uniquely identifies the tamper-resistant integrated circuit, a symmetric encryption key and a release key.
