Abstract
A barrier layer can be attached in a semiconductor package to one or more sensitive devices. The barrier layer can be used to obstruct tampering by a malicious agent attempting to access sensitive information on the sensitive device. The barrier layer can cause the sensitive device to become inoperable if physically tampered. Additional other aspects of the protective packaging provide protection against x-ray and thermal probing as well as chemical and electrical tampering attempts.
