System on chip is the backbone component of the electronics industry nowadays. FPGA-based system on chip is most popular method of manufacturing. However, FPGA industries are plagued with risks of counterfeits due to the limitations in security, accountability, complexity, and governance of their supply chain management. As a result, the current practices of these microelectronics supply chain suffer from performance and efficiency problem places. Goal - avoid counterfeiting of microelectronics and have a streamlined developed ecosystem for the same. Task to solve the problem counterfeits in microelectronic supply chains by utilizing blockchain technology. The hypothesis is to decide the type of blockchain platform, designing the assets and choosing the right consensus algorithm. In this article, we are incorporating blockchain technology into the FPGA microelectronic supply chain to help mitigate the risk of counterfeit microelectronics through a secure and decentralized solution that is resilient to tampering of transaction records. Will see a generalizable design framework of blockchain managed supply chains focusing on the system on chip industries, including FPGA based solutions. As a result, the issue of counterfeit supply chains in microelectronics is solved by using blockchain technology.
