Overview

Experimental study demonstrates bias-addressable multi-entropy generation in heterojunction transistors, highlighting scalable hardware security within compact physical unclonable function arrays.

Key Points

  • To overcome the capacity scaling limits of conventional physical unclonable functions by extracting multiple bias-addressable entropy features from a single Gaussian transistor.
  • Fabricated fingerprint-expanding Gaussian (FEG) transistors using an IGZO/DNTT heterojunction to establish separate electron, hole, and interfacial disorder entropy domains.
  • Characterized electrical responses across the transfer curve branches (rising, peak, falling) and implemented a redundancy-suppressed readout protocol across an 8 × 8 transistor array.
  • Biasing across the Gaussian-like transfer curve successfully resolved multiple entropy domains exhibiting weak cross-branch correlation.
  • An 8 × 8 FEG array achieved an optimized candidate challenge space of approximately 1.10 × 10^12 challenge-response pairs while enhancing current margins and diffuseness.
