Information matrix e.g. for protection of confidential information contained on semiconductor chip, has first conduction structures overlying second conduction structures to form points of intersection

摘要

An information matrix, has several first conductor structures (1) arranged in a first plane and several second conductor structures (2) arranged in a second plane. The first conduction structures (1) are arranged over-lying the second conductor structures and are spaced apart on one side and on the other side form points of intersection and at the points of intersection for injecting readable information, an electrically conducting or non-conducting connection element (3) is formed for connecting one of the first conduction structures (1) to one of the second conducting structures (2). An Independent claim is given for the use of an information matrix.
