SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME AND GENERATION METHOD OF UNIQUE INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a function of generating unique information based on an output of a circuit component of a second circuit, the method comprising:
- manufacturing a first circuit and the second circuit;
manufacturing the first circuit in accordance with a first manufacturing condition; and
manufacturing the second circuit in accordance with a second manufacturing condition;
when the second manufacturing condition is compared with the first manufacturing condition, the second manufacturing condition further includes a factor which increases a variation of the circuit component.

Abstract
A semiconductor device with improved generation function of unique information is provided. The semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit designed or fabricated based on a general design condition or manufacturing condition, an input/output circuit, and a unique-information generation circuit to generate unique information of the semiconductor device. The unique-information generation circuit includes a circuit for PUF and a code-generation unit. The circuit for PUF is fabricated based on the design condition or manufacturing condition which is different from the general design condition or manufacturing condition and has a factor which makes variations of circuit components become large. The code-generation unit generates codes based on the output of the circuit for PUF.
