Doping Technology Used as an Anti-Counterfeiting Measure |
This summer, a team of NIST scientists published a paper explaining how doping integrated circuits or circuit boards themselves could allow for unique, difficult to reproduce, identification. Using the sharp tip of an Atomic Force Microscope, the team was able to implant Aluminum atoms into n-type silicon in a deterministic pattern. Using this doping technique could allow device manufacturers to create a unique tag to identify electronics that is difficult to alter or reproduce.
The paper explains how this would provide a new layer of hardware security. In a world full of supply chain issues and sophisticated counterfeit electronics, getting a hold of the exact microprocessor, modem, or IoT device that you intend to purchase can be a difficult task. This task carries an ever-increasing importance too as the electronics in our life are collecting more information and are more interconnected. One forged device in a network of devices would be enough to send your data somewhere that you did not intend for it to go.
This is exciting technology and it will be interesting to see it develop into a usable product!

IEEE International Symposium on Antennas & Propagation
The 2022 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting – AP-S/URSI 2022, from July 10–15, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency and Grand Hyatt, in Denver, Colorado, USA, the Mile High City. The conference is cosponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and the US National Committee (USNC) for the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). It is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on state-of-the-art research in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic engineering, and radio science. It is exciting to have our conference in Denver, for the first time ever, and back in Colorado after 50 years.
Along with a highly illuminating and relevant technical program, you will experience outstanding conference amenities and hotels, as well as an exceptional social program, for a truly memorable joint AP-S/URSI Conference in July 2022 in Denver. We are preparing a comprehensive range of technical sessions, keynotes, invited talks, special sessions, student paper and design competitions, short courses, tutorials, exhibits, demonstrations, professional meetings, open forum discussions, and networking events. With its central location within the US, an extremely well-connected airport, and organized tours and activities within the city and its spectacular surroundings, our 2022 edition in Denver promises to be a great success.
The paper submission deadline is February 11, 2022.
