But really, apart from the novelty, why attempt to destroy the chip in the first place? Encrypt the bulk flash memory, store the key in supercap backed SRAM, and then zero out and short the RAM when triggered. Then you'd have a reusable device in case of inadvertent triggering. You could even load it with a key from a trusted host computer (stored on the computer or derived from passphrase), gain safety for transporting your files while walking around and plugging in to less trusted computers), and then if you did accidentally trigger the device, simply reload the key afterwards when you got back to the trusted computer and not have to rewrite the flash. The utility of such reloading functionality would depend on your threat model, but could be very useful for a lot of people. Perhaps border crossings.
Since we're on the topic of bespoke crypto ideas, I've often mused about the possibility of a probabilistic KDF that would take a lengthy amount of time to derive the key, and/or be resilient to typos in the passphrase. Rather than doing a fixed number of rounds that take a few seconds to derive the key xor failure, there would be additional random bits that had to be derived via hash collision finding, stretching out the time. Such a thing could be resistant to typos or omissions of words in the passphrase, with the result that such errors would increase the time even more. Thus, until the KDF reported success, an attacker would not know whether you gave them the correct passphrase and they just need more time, or whether you were stalling.
