Patent ID: 11176300

Abstract:
Systems and methods for producing individualized processing chips, each individualized processing chip being arranged to carry out a common processing operation are disclosed. A processing chip design is received, wherein the common processing operation is specified, at least in part, by the processing chip design. For each individualized processing chip the processing chip design is individualized to produce an individualized processing chip design, in accordance with an individualized set of transformations for the individualized processing chip, by including a respective set of modifications as part of the individualized processing chip design that implement the individualized set of transformations. Each transformation of the individualized set of transformations is a transform for an interconnect, specified in the processing chip design, of at least two logic cells specified in the processing chip design. For each individualized processing chip the individualized processing chip design is provided for fabrication of the individualized processing chip according to the individualized processing chip design. The individualized set of transformations for one individualized chip is different to the individualized set of transformations for at least one other individualized chip.
