Objective: This module provides a basic understanding of using Terahertz technology (THz) to characterize the packaging of semiconductor devices for hardware assurance purposes. THz is an emerging breakthrough technology, and there are currently few commercial solutions with capabilities necessary for Hardware Assurance. The current solutions can be used in our lab to characterize authentic VS. counterfeit components and manipulated devices. The potential of using THz to extract the unique ’fingerprints’ from packaging for tracking and identification purpose will also be discussed.
