Various methods for inhibiting reverse engineering of a circuit design are provided. In one embodiment, a circuit design is initially mapped to a plurality of identified hardware components of a target device using a first table that indicates a first set of logic patterns that hardware components of the target device can implement. Unused hardware components are identified, and at least one logic pattern of the circuit design is remapped to one of the unused hardware components using a second mapping table. The second table indicates a second set of logic patterns, not indicated by the first mapping table, that one of the unused hardware components is configurable to implement.
