Abstract
On a wafer that includes multiple distinct designs in each die region, a memory is included in each die region. The memory stores information specific to the design implemented in the same die region. Such stored information may include a circuit design identifier or a proprietary technology identifier. Such identifiers minimize IC confusion and aid in tracking usage of proprietary technology.
