Abstract

The invention relates to the chip focusing resistance ion beam attack field and provides a top metal protection layer integrity detection method based on a sigma-delta modulator. In the method, through detecting whether a resistance value of a metal line is changed, whether a protection layer is complete is detected and then whether an attacker uses FIB to correct the protection layer is determined. A chip top protection layer integrity detection apparatus is formed by a top metal line AB, operation amplifiers AMP and AMP1, PMOS pipes M1 and M2, an NMOS pipe M3, switches S1 and S2, a reference current source I, a comparator COMP with a clock terminal, a counter CT and a digital comparator DCMP. The apparatus is mainly applied to a chip focusing resistance ion beam attack occasion.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip anti-focused ion beam attack, and in particular to a chip top layer metal protection layer integrity detection structure based on a sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator, specifically, a chip top layer protection layer integrity detection device and method. Background technique

[0002] Focused Ion beam (FIB) attacks can deliberately cut integrated circuit chips or modify the original metal wiring, making the chip run wrong, or making some security protection modules lose their functions. The test nodes of the internal circuit can also be made through the FIB, and then the micro-probes can be used to directly monitor the test nodes and read the routing information. Therefore, FIB attacks seriously threaten the information security of integrated circuits.

[0003] At present, the mainstream anti-attack method against FIB attacks is to use the top metal protection layer as the attack-aware structure. like figu...
