Area of Science:

Electrical Engineering
Computer Engineering
Semiconductor Manufacturing

Background:

Reverse engineering poses a significant threat to the semiconductor industry, causing billions in annual revenue loss.
Existing methods for combating integrated circuit (IC) reverse engineering are often inefficient or lack robust security.
Protecting intellectual property in IC design is crucial for maintaining market competitiveness and preventing financial losses.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an area-efficient and high-performance IC camouflaging technique at the physical design level.
To develop a novel camouflaging method that hinders attackers from identifying logic gates in IC layouts.
To introduce a library of camouflaged primitive gates using metal routing and dummy contact techniques for enhanced security.

Main Methods:

Implementation of an area-efficient, high-performance IC camouflaging technique.
Utilizing a combination of metal routing and dummy contact techniques to create camouflaged primitive gates.
Development of a gate library incorporating these camouflaged gates for physical design.

Main Results:

The proposed camouflaging technique effectively obscures logic gates, making reverse engineering difficult for attackers.
The developed gate library demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods in terms of resource utilization, area, and delay.
The technique offers an optimal balance between security enhancement and performance overhead.

Conclusions:

The proposed IC camouflaging technique provides a robust solution against reverse engineering in the semiconductor industry.
The developed library of camouflaged gates is expected to be open-sourced, aiding ASIC designers in securing IC designs.
This work contributes to mitigating significant revenue losses caused by IC reverse engineering.
