contents The purpose of this paper is to fill a gap in the general understanding -- and academic scrutiny -- of current and emerging workflows for designing and fabricating integrated circuits. The approach is to compare the IC design workflow with that for printed circuit boards, then to discern a classification for threats. The need to define and secure workflows is amplified by both U.S. investment in the semiconductor manufacturing and market forces affecting GPU production for AI applications. The origin of this knowledge gap can be the proprietary nature of solution spaces, but it can be the lack of demand for teaching and learning for engineers and technicians in this domain. This paper presents a framework for understanding the security of design workflows in a vendor- and tool-agnostic way.
