Detection of counterfeit chips has emerged as a crucial concern.Physically-unclonable-function (PUF)-based techniques are widely used forauthentication, however, require dedicated hardware and large signaturedatabase. In this work, we show intrinsic & database-free authentication usingback-end capacitors. The discussed technique simplifies authentication setupand reduces the test cost. We show that an analog-to-digital converter (ADC)can be modified for back-end capacitor-based authentication in addition to itsregular functionality; hence, a dedicated authentication module is notnecessary. Moreover, since back-end capacitors are quite insensitive totemperature and aging-induced variations than transistors, the discussedtechnique result in a more reliable authentication than transistor PUF-basedauthentication. The modifications to conventional ADC incur 3.2% power overheadand 75% active-area overhead; however, arguably, the advantages of thediscussed intrinsic & database-free authentication outweigh the overheads. Fullversion of this article is published at IEEE TVLSI.
