The recycling of electronic components has become a major concern for the industry and government as it potentially impacts the security and reliability of a wide variety of electronic systems. The sheer number of component types (analog, digital, mixed-signal) and sizes (large or small) makes it extremely challenging to find a one-size-fits-all solution to detect and prevent recycled ICs. In this paper, we propose a suite of solutions for combating die and IC recycling (CDIR). These solutions include light-weight, on-chip structures based on ring oscillators (RO-CDIR), anti-fuses (AF-CDIR) and fuses (F-CDIR). Each structure meets the unique needs and limitations of different part types and sizes providing excellent coverage of recycled parts. HSPICE simulation results using 90nm technology demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI)-aware RO-CDIR for detecting ICs used for very short period of time. Recycling of large digital ICs can effectively be detected by using AF-CDIR. Small analog and digital recycled components can be identified by testing our F-CDIR with very low cost measurement devices, e.g., a multimeter.
