Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method of generating a physical unclonable function (PUF) by causing unpredictable partial process failure for a semiconductor process. In a designing process, a second mask pattern may be printed by distorting a size and/or shape of at least one mask window included in a designed first mask pattern, without violating semiconductor design rules. A PUF may be generated using a photomask including the printed second mask pattern for photolithography.
