ML-ENABLED ASSURED MICROELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING: A TECHNIQUE TO MITIGATE HARDWARE TROJAN DETECTION

摘要

A method for assuring that integrated circuits are free of malicious circuit insertions and/or IC design modifications through mask swapping/addition is provided. The method includes a step of comparing 3D tomographic images constructed from design GDS to the 3D tomographic images constructed from in-line fab metrology data.
