Electronic DNA (E-DNA)
Almost every electronic product has its
inherent features. These kind of features reflect the
intrinsic properties of the electronic products, and remain in the
products over the lifetime. Hence, they are called electronic DNA
(E-DNA). Two mainstream applications of the E-DNA are product
identification and quality control.
a) Product
identification
By providing every product an unique
identity without adding anything else to it, the industry could
reliably tract the products whenever/wherever necessary. The technology could
also be used for anti-counterfeiting.
b) Quality control in mass production
The E-DNAs reflect some important
features of the electronic products. Once the E-DNAs of a product
deviate from their normal ranges, there exists a risk of quality
problems. Hence, E-DNA could be applied to quality control in mass
production. This helps a lot in decreasing the cost of production
due to quality problems.
