| Abstract | Usually on the top of Smart Chip covered with active shielding layer to prevent invasive physical exploration tampering attacks on part of the chip's function modules, to obtain the chip's critical storage data and sensitive information. This paper introduces a design based on UMC55 technology, and applied to the safety chip active shielding layer method for layout design, the layout design from the two aspects of the metal shielding line and shielding layer detecting circuit, using the minimum size advantage and layout design process when the depth of hidden shielding line interface and port order connection method and greatly increased the difficulty of physical attack. The layout design can withstand most of the current FIB physical attack technology, and has been applied to the actual smart card design, and it has important practical significance for the security design and attack of the chip. |
