Abstract
Reliability mechanisms are undesirable from a product lifetime point of view, but their unique characteristics enable novel applications such as one-time-programmable memory, secure chip odometers, and physical unclonable functions (PUFs). In this invited paper, we will discuss how reliability mechanisms can be leveraged for the aforementioned applications, and then introduce a novel SRAM PUF design where the power up state of the SRAM cell is programmed into a local metal fuse using the electromigration phenomenon for improved stability.
