Here, we introduce a hybrid silicon CMOS-nanotube PUF circuit that uses the variations of nanotube transistors to generate a random response. An analog silicon circuit subsequently converts the nanotube response to zero or one bits. We fabricate an array of nanotube transistors to study and model their device variability. The behavior of the hybrid CMOS-nanotube PUF is then simulated. The parameters of the analog circuit are tuned to achieve the desired normalized Hamming inter-distance of 0.5. The co-design of the nanotube array and the silicon CMOS is an attractive feature for increasing the immunity of the hybrid PUF against an unauthorized duplication. The heterogeneous integration of nanotubes with silicon CMOS offers a new strategy for realizing security tokens that are strong, low-cost, and reliable.","PeriodicalId":333587,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE SOI-3D-Subthreshold Microelectronics Technology Unified Conference (S3S)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114716484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking advantage of high sparsity, spiking neurons, and error tolerance, the compact accelerator chips are capable of processing images at several hundred megapixels per second, while dissipating less than 10 mW.

Finally, the handle wafer is released to realize the Si-CMOS on III-V/Si substrate. Additional III-V/Si substrates with different materials and structures can be integrated on the same piece of Si-CMOS+III-V/Si substrate by stacking another III-V/Si substrate before the handle wafer is removed. Through this method, integration of Si-CMOS with more than one type of III-V materials on a single Si platform can be realized (e.g., CMOS/InGaAs HEMT/GaN LED on a silicon substrate).
