A system for building a TRC includes a spray mechanism for spraying a coating material, a target system including a rotatable spray-target that retains an object with a surface to be covered by the TRC, a temperature sensor, and a control system for controlling application of the coating material based on a temperature that is determined during the spraying. The temperature sensor may comprise a non-contact infrared sensor that may measure a temperature related to the object. The measured temperature may be controlled by varying the speed of the rotatable spray-target.

Systems and methods for building tamper resistant coatings

A method of producing a microelectronic device resistant to tampering, inspection and damage from surrounding environment or operating conditions includes: (i) applying an adhesion layer on a circuit including a die fixed and electrically connected to a laminate substrate; (ii) spraying, through a flame spray process, a tamper resistant coating over the applied adhesion layer; (iii) applying a first encapsulant for filling spaces and air pockets; (iv) removing air and gases from the first encapsulant; and (v) applying a second encapsulant around the first encapsulant for providing a moisture barrierand handling surfaces for the microelectronic device.

Method for producing shock and tamper resistant microelectronic devices

A system for applying a sprayed coating includes a spray mechanism operative to spray a liquefied coating material; a target system including a rotatable spray target wheel; and one or more device-holding fixtures configured to be mounted onto the spray target wheel without requiring either an unattached threaded fastener or a locking pin. Preferred embodiments of the system are configured for thermal spray application of Tamper Resistant Coatings (TRCs).
