To this aim, a preliminary analysis was performed by measurements across voltages and temperatures on a set of seven Si/SiO2/WS2 back-gated devices, also considering the effect of different stabilization conditions on their conductivity. Obtained results show appreciable variability in the conductivity, while also revealing similar dependence on bias and temperature across tested devices. Overall, our analysis demonstrates that WS2-based devices can be potentially exploited to ensure adequate randomness and robustness against environmental variations and then used as building blocks for hardware security primitives.}, organization = {European Union’s Horizon 2020 project ASCENT+ (grant agreement no 871130)}, organization = {Science Foundation Ireland (SFI-12/RC/2278_P2)}, organization = {Italian MUR through the PRIN project FIVE2D (Contract No. 2017SRYEJH_001)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {2D materials}, keywords = {Tungsten disulfide}, keywords = {Characterization}, title = {Experimental analysis of variability in WS2-based devices for hardware security}, doi = {10.1016/j.sse.2023.108701}, author = {Vatalaro, M. and Neill, H. and Gity, F. and Magnone, P. and Maccaronio, V. and Márquez González, Carlos and Galdón Gil, José Carlos and Gámiz Pérez, Francisco Jesús and Crupi, F. and Hurley, Paul and De Rose, R.}, }
