Abstract(in English) As manufacturing costs continue to grow, IC manufacturers are increasingly outsourcing IC manufacturing to third-party foundries in order to reduce the cost of manufacturing equipment. As a result, problems such as IP theft and unauthorized manufacturing are becoming more serious. This study focuses on IP protection by circuit replacement using eFPGA as a solution to this problem. Assuming a case where IP protection is applied to the circuit design of a processor, we focus on the versatility of the processor and evaluate the effects (i.e., IP protection and circuit overhead) of circuit replacement by eFPGA from the application perspective.
