Local and Direct Power Injection on CMOS Integrated Circuits
Abstract
The paper aims at demonstrating experimentally that the tiny ElectroMagnetic (EM) coupling between the tip end of a micro-antenna is su cient to locally and directly inject power into CMOS Integrated Circuits (IC). More precisely, experimental results show that such electrical couplings are sufficient to disturb, with and without removing the IC package, the behavior of 90nm CMOS Ring Oscillators; a representative structure of CMOS logic but also a constituting element ,of some True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) or clock generator.
