Abstract: The embodiments herein describe authenticating a photomask used to fabricate an IC or a wafer. Because the IC may have been fabricated at a third-party IC manufacturer, the customer may want to ensure the manufacturer did not mistakenly use an incorrect mask, or that the mask was not altered or replaced with a rogue mask by a nefarious actor. That is, the embodiments herein can be used to identify when an IC manufacture (whether trusted or not) mistakenly used the wrong photomask, or to verify that a third-party IC manufacturer did not tamper with or replace the authentic photomask with a rogue mask. Advantageously, the embodiments herein can create a secure IC fabrication process to catch mistakes as well as ensure that non-trusted third-parties did not introduce defects into the IC.

Abstract: A pixelated electronic sensor is disclosed for imaging from infra-red to ultraviolet wavelengths, composed of a CMOS integrated circuit plus layers of nano-materials monolithically integrated via low temperature post-processing. Co-design, simulation, and integration methods for the device are described. Each pixel has color-resolved single photon sensitivity without dark counts and without inefficiency. The device operates at temperatures above 70° Kelvin. Current state of the art imagers that can color-resolve single photons are of bolometric or filter type. Bolometric devices must operate at temperature below 1° Kelvin and are limited to few pixels. Devices that use filters are inefficient as all the photons rejected by a filter are wasted. Single photon imagers that operate at non-cryogenic temperature (like Silicon Photomultipliers) have large dark counts typically measured in MHz/cm2.
