Abstract

Abstract A nano‐electromechanical (NEM) switch using multilevel states based on the high security physical unclonable function (PUF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Using the asymmetric random stiction of a silicon nanowire (SiNW), the conventional binary state is simply expanded to a quaternary‐state encryption key without increasing chip area. The multiple states are determined by the asymmetrically bent direction and stiction of the SiNW. The experimental results show that the fabricated NEM‐PUF with multistates retains unique, random, and robust characteristics, while the key capacity is doubled, even with the same array size footprint.
