1. A method for providing identity tracking and authentication for a multi-chip package (MCP) module or a designated semiconductor chip selected from one or more semiconductor chips formed on an MCP base of the MCP module, the MCP module being provided with a first communication function, the method comprising:

  • providing a communication element formed on the MCP base, the communication element including a memory unit for storing information including at least identity information of the designated semiconductor chip or the MCP module;

    providing an electrical connection between the communication element and the designated semiconductor chip;

    accessing by the designated semiconductor chip the information stored in the memory unit of the communication element through the electrical connection; and

    providing the information stored in the communication element to a system outside of the MCP module through the first communication function of the MCP module, the information being used at least to track or authenticate the MCP module or the designated semiconductor chip of the MCP module.
