Embedded Analog Physical Unclonable Function System to Extract Reliable and Unique Security Keys
(2020)
Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices have become more and more pervasive in our everyday lives. Examples include wearables transmitting and processing personal data and smart labels interacting with customers. Due to the sensitive data involved, these devices need to be protected against attackers. In this context, hardware-based security primitives such as Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) provide a powerful solution to secure interconnected devices. The main benefit of PUFs, in combination with traditional cryptographic methods, is that security keys are derived from the random intrinsic variations of the underlying core circuit. In this work, we present a holistic analog-based PUF evaluation platform, enabling direct access to a scalable design that can be customized to fit the application requirements in terms of the number of required keys and bit width. The proposed platform covers the full software and hardware implementations and allows for tracing the PUF response generation from the digital level back to the internal analog voltages that are directly involved in the response generation procedure. Our analysis is based on 30 fabricated PUF cores that we evaluated in terms of PUF security metrics and bit errors for various temperatures and biases. With an average reliability of 99.20% and a uniqueness of 48.84%, the proposed system shows values close to ideal.

Printed Electronics is perceived to have a major impact in the fields of smart sensors, Internet of Things and wearables. Especially low power printed technologies such as electrolyte gated field effect transistors (EGFETs) using solution-processed inorganic materials and inkjet printing are very promising in such application domains. In this paper, we discuss a modeling approach to describe the variations of printed devices. Incorporating these models and design flows into our previously developed printed design system allows for robust circuit design. Additionally, we propose a reliability-aware routing solution for printed electronics technology based on the technology constraints in printing crossovers. The proposed methodology was validated on multiple benchmark circuits and can be easily integrated with the design automation tools-set.
Printed electrolyte-gated oxide electronics is an emerging electronic technology in the low voltage regime (≤1 V). Whereas in the past mainly dielectrics have been used for gating the transistors, many recent approaches employ the advantages of solution processable, solid polymer electrolytes, or ion gels that provide high gate capacitances produced by a Helmholtz double layer, allowing for low-voltage operation. Herein, with special focus on work performed at KIT recent advances in building electronic circuits based on indium oxide, n-type electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors (EGFETs) are reviewed. When integrated into ring oscillator circuits a digital performance ranging from 250 Hz at 1 V up to 1 kHz is achieved. Sequential circuits such as memory cells are also demonstrated. More complex circuits are feasible but remain challenging also because of the high variability of the printed devices. However, the device inherent variability can be even exploited in security circuits such as physically unclonable functions (PUFs), which output a reliable and unique, device specific, digital response signal. As an overall advantage of the technology all the presented circuits can operate at very low supply voltages (0.6 V), which is crucial for low-power printed electronics applications.
Electrolyte-gated, printed field-effect transistors exhibit high charge carrier densities in the channel and thus high on-currents at low operating voltages, allowing for the low-power operation of such devices. This behavior is due to the high area-specific capacitance of the device, in which the electrolyte takes the role of the dielectric layer of classical architectures. In this paper, we investigate intrinsic double-layer capacitances of ink-jet printed electrolyte-gated inorganic field-effect transistors in both in-plane and top-gate architectures by means of voltage-dependent impedance spectroscopy. By comparison with deembedding structures, we separate the intrinsic properties of the double-layer capacitance at the transistor channel from parasitic effects and deduce accurate estimates for the double-layer capacitance based on an equivalent circuit fitting. Based on these results, we have performed simulations of the electrolyte cutoff frequency as a function of electrolyte and gate resistances, showing that the top-gate architecture has the potential to reach the kilohertz regime with proper optimization of materials and printing process. Our findings additionally enable accurate modeling of the frequency-dependent capacitance of electrolyte/ion gel-gated devices as required in the small-signal analysis in the circuit simulation.
In the domain of printed electronics (PE), field-effect transistors (FETs) with an oxide semiconductor channel are very promising. In particular, the use of high gate-capacitance of the composite solid polymer electrolytes (CSPEs) as a gate-insulator ensures extremely low voltage requirements. Besides high gate capacitance, such CSPEs are proven to be easily printable, stable in air over wide temperature ranges, and possess high ion conductivity. These CSPEs can be sensitive to moisture, especially for high surface-to-volume ratio printed thin films. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of humidity on CSPE-gated single transistors. At the circuit level, the performance of ring oscillators (ROs) has been compared for various humidity conditions. The experimental results of the electrolyte-gated FETs (EGFETs) demonstrate rather comparable currents between 30%-90% humidity levels. However, the shifted transistor parameters lead to a significant performance change of the RO frequency behavior. The study in this paper shows the need of an impermeable encapsulation for the CSPE-gated FETs to ensure identical performance at all humidity conditions.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas are popular for high frequency (HF) RFID, energy transfer and near field communication (NFC) applications. Particularly for wireless measurement systems the RFID/NFC technology is a good option to implement a wireless communication interface. In this context, the design of corresponding reader and transmitter antennas plays a major role for achieving suitable transmission quality. This work proves the feasibility of the rapid prototyping of a RFID/NFC antenna, which is used for the wireless communication and energy harvesting at the required frequency of 13.56 MHz. A novel and low-cost direct ink writing (DIW) technology utilizing highly viscous silver nanoparticle ink is used for this process. This paper describes the development and analysis of low-cost printed flexible RFID/NFC antennas on cost-effective substrates for a microelectronic vital parameter measurement system. Furthermore, we compare the measured technical parameters with existing copper-based counterparts on a FR4 substrate.
Smart Home or Smart Building applications are a growing market. An increasing challenge is to design energy efficient Smart Home applications to achieve sustainable and green homes. Using the example of the development of an Indoor Smart Gardening system with wireless monitoring and automated watering this paper is discussing in particular the design issue of energy autonomous working sensors and actuators for home automation. Most important part of the presented Smart Gardening system is a 3D printed smart flower pot for single plants. The smart flower pot has integrated a water reservoir for automated plant irrigation and an electronic for monitoring important plant parameters and the water level of the water reservoir. Energy harvesting with solar cells enables energy autonomous working of the flower pot. A low-power wireless interface also integrated in the flowerpot and an external gateway based on a Raspberry Pi 3 enables wireless networking of multiple of those flower pots. The gateway is used for evaluating the plant parameters and as a user interface. Particularly the architecture of the energy autonomous wireless flower pot will be considered, because fully energy autonomous sensors and actuators for home automation could not be implemented without special concepts for the energy supply and the overall electronic.
