Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a circuit for solving the problem of antenna effect in a chip design. In some chip designs, an active shield physical protection design needs to be adopted for the purpose of preventing invasive attack to smart card chips. An active shielding layer has a defending effect on both attacks needing physical modification and those damaging partial functions of the chips. An active shielding line adopts a top layer metal and has a relatively long routing, and thus can cause severe antenna effect. When the traditional method of adding a diode is adopted, a relatively large chip area are usually occupied. The method provided by the method adopts a circuit with a transmission gate structure to solve the problem of antenna effect, and the circuit is simple in structure and easy to implement, and by using the method and the circuit, functions of the circuit are not affected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention proposes a method and a circuit for solving the antenna effect in chip design. The invention is applicable to the field of smart card design. Background technique [0002] There are many attack methods against smart card chips, which can be roughly divided into three categories. Intrusive attack is one of them, also known as physical attack. Commonly used tools in chip reverse engineering include removing chip packages, extracting layouts, and cutting / connecting circuits. The active shielding layer has a defensive effect on attacks that require physical modification and destroy some functions of the chip. [0003] In the physical layout design of the smart card chip, the top layer metal is often used as the active shielding of the entire chip. Assume that the metal wires in the design start random routing at a certain starting point on the top layer, and cover the top layer of metal, and then connect to the standard unit through the lo...
