Anti-Counterfeit Solution for Semiconductors, Microchips & GPUs

Q-ID® helps protect semiconductors, GPUs and electronic components from counterfeiting by giving each genuine product a secure, quantum-unique identity.

Suitable for microchips, GPU cards, retail packaging and warranty documentation, Q-ID® enables authentication across the entire supply chain and at the point of use. This includes:

Instantly verified using a standard smartphone camera.
Cannot be practically copied, cloned or replicated.
Supports checks by businesses, technicians and end customers.
Can be applied to components, labels, packaging and documents.
Helps protect warranties, returns and after-sales support.

Counterfeit Microchips Can Compromise Performance, Safety and Trust

Semiconductors often sit inside products where failure can be catastrophic. A relabelled power component, reclaimed memory chip or fake GPU may look convincing under normal observation, yet still fail under heat and intense load.

As the demand for AI processing power has surged over the last 2 years, the risk of counterfeit microchips and electronic components has also become even more widespread. The Semiconductor Industry Association has estimated that counterfeiting costs U.S.-based semiconductor companies more than $7.5 billion per year. ERAI reported 768 suspect counterfeit and nonconforming parts in 2022, a 35% increase from the previous year. The OECD has also identified counterfeit ICT goods as a significant trade issue affecting technology supply chains. These reports highlight the growing problem impacting this sector.

For GPUs and semiconductor parts, counterfeits can lead to:

Reduced processing performance.
Unstable operation under thermal or electrical stress.
Shorter component lifespan.
Warranty fraud and false returns.
Loss of confidence with OEMs, distributors and customers.

How Q-ID® Protects Semiconductors and GPUs

Unlike serial numbers, QR codes or holograms, Q-ID® uses quantum-level randomness to create a signature that cannot be practically copied or faked. This gives each protected product a secure physical identity, linked to digital verification.

A Q-ID® tag can be added to:

GPU product labels and retail packaging.
Semiconductor trays and shipping cartons.
Warranty cards, service documents and returns labels.
High-value spares and distributor stock.

With a smartphone-based check, a distributor can authenticate stock on arrival, a repair centre can verify a returned GPU before approving a claim and an end user can confirm that a product is genuine before installation or resale.
