SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP WITH AN UNEQUIVOCAL IDENTITY AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING THE UNEQUIVOCAL IDENTITY OF A SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP

摘要

The invention relates to a semiconductor chip comprising memory and/or logic devices which has a plurality of first semiconductor switches, each of these having an individual characteristic which is dependent on chance. The sum of these characteristics characterises the semiconductor chip unequivocally. The individual chance-dependent characteristic of each of the first semiconductor switches is used to generate an unequivocal and individual sequence of figures.
