Trusted Mask Trust Approach

Abstract

This project staffs and supports operation of a new secure (SECRET-level) photomask manufacturing capability at an existing SOTA commercial photomask manufacturing supplier to secure the masks and design IP of acquisition programs when using commercial microelectronic fabrication facilities other than the Trusted Foundry. This capability can be used in conjunction with one or more leading-edge commercial foundries. This capability will address trusted masks at technology node sizes less than 130 nanometers (nm) down to 14nm. Beginning in FY 2018, funding for this project has been transferred to BA 5 PE 0605294D8Z, P812, to continue execution of funds in support of the mission.
