This project, acquiring a new high resolution microscope, aims to allow users to analyze the performance of electronic devices and systems. With a user friendly interface and the use of intuition, the instrument is expected to maximize its accessibility for on-site use and for off campus users. The platform will be used for teaching, education, and outreach. This effort is shared by six universities in Florida. The effort enables:- Remote access capability to reach over 500 students every year both on and off campus; - Material and expertise on hardware security related topics for educators to incorporate in their classroom curricula;- Help to bring experts into their classrooms to discuss real-world applications; and - Exposure of undergraduates to advanced microscopy techniques. This new high resolution photon emission and electro-optical microscope enables the analysis by visualizing the transistor functionality non-destructively. When analyzing performance in this fashion, maximum impact is gained from multiple features such as: - New high sensitive detectors that enable high resolution; - Laser scanning configuration that enable static and dynamic failure analysis; - Static laser scanning stimulation that contribute to identify the source of shorts and resistive defects; and - Electro-optical probing and frequency mapping that enable rapid identification of regions of interest. The unique capabilities of the instrument constitute a critical enabling parameter for research in hardware and system security areas. These include:- Counterfeit detection by providing more detailed data than general electrical tests in less expensive and non-destructive manner; - Semi-invasive physical attacks by enabling advanced contactless probing techniques and laser injection to measure circuit activity; - Trojan detection by performing trust analysis of fabricated integrated circuits for validation of security and trust; and- Reverse and anti-reverse engineering by complementing conventional reverse engineering and extracting the intellectual property blocks critic information.
