New SEMI Semiconductor Standards Aim to Deter Chip Counterfeiters

摘要

SEMI has published three new technical standards applicable to the semiconductor manufacturing industry.rnTwo of the new standards help deter counterfeiting by validating the integrity of goods from non-certified distributors/suppliers. These new standards help trusted manufacturers of authentic goods use strongly-encrypted batch numbers. Using a free authentication service, anyone considering the purchase of a batch of goods can use the encrypted batch number as the basis for a validation check. Secure serialization is a major deterrent to counterfeiters-and an early warning system if theft of codes occurs.
