Abstract:
The subject disclosure relates to techniques for providing semiconductor chip security using piezoelectricity. According to an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that comprises an integrated circuit chip comprising a pass transistor that electrically connects two or more electrical components of the integrated circuit chip. The apparatus further comprises a piezoelectric element electrically connected to a gate electrode of the pass transistor; and a packaging component that is physically connected to the piezoelectric element and applies a mechanical force to the piezoelectric element, wherein the piezoelectric element generates and provides a voltage to the gate electrode as a result of the mechanical force, thereby causing the pass transistor to be in an on-state. In one implementation, the two or more electrical components comprise a circuit and a power source. In another implementation, the two or more electrical components comprise two circuits.

Claim (Index 15):
The semiconductor chip of  claim 9 , wherein the at least two circuits comprise a first pair of circuits and wherein the pass transistor is a first pass transistor, and wherein the semiconductor chip further comprises:\n second pairs of circuits; and second pass transistors that electrically couple respective pairs of the second pairs of circuits, wherein the second pass transistors comprise piezoelectric gates that produce voltages that causes the second pass transistor to remain in the on-state based on the application of the mechanical force to the piezoelectric gates.
