Background of IMENThe Department of Electrical, Electronics and Systems Engineering of UKM started microelectronics research activities in 1988. The activities were on small-scale and focused on IC design, simple device (such as Schottky diode) fabrication and theory modeling. Prof. Syono from Sophia University, Tokyo played a major role in the construction and development of the first microelectronics laboratory/cleanroom. He gave many ideas for the layout of cleanroom and even donated a few equipment to jumpstart UKM’s initial research in microelectronics. The first oxide layer was successfully grown in this cleanroom in 1992 using the small furnace contributed by Prof. Syono. Research on organic electronics first started at the UKM Physics Department in 1987.
In 1993, Telekom Malaysia R&D Sdn. Bhd. (TMR&D) recognized the cleanroom and presented UKM a RM 1 million grant to upgrade the cleanroom into microelectronics research centre called UKM-TM Microfabrication Laboratory. All activities were centered on fabrication using silicon technology. The lab also contributed to TMR&D research outputs. UKM-TM Microfabrication Laboratory was expanded in December 1997 to accommodate a 1000 class cleanroom for III-V compound and microwave monolithic integrated circuits devices research. The upgraded lab with additional grant given was named UKM-TM Microelectronics Research Centre (MERC) under the UKM Faculty of Engineering and TMR&D Sdn. Bhd. At the time, MERC was the only research centre in Malaysia that accommodated semiconductor fabrication facilities for research studies.
The proposal to build a centre of excellence for strategic research on MEMS was first introduced in 2002 by the IRPA fund panel of Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) when MERC was given IRPA fund worth RM 38 million to conduct research on developing MEMS technology for automotive applications. The centre of excellence for MEMS research would serve as the nation’s resource of MEMS research in Malaysia and aims at putting Malaysia on the map in the research area. The director of MERC, Prof. Dr. Burhanuddin Yeop Majlis proposed to combine MEMS research team with MERC, Organic Electronics, VLSI technology, and Photonics Technology groups to solidify the multi-disciplinary centre of excellence.
The Ministry of Education Malaysia gave the approval to build Institute of Microenineering and Nanoelectronics (IMEN) in November 2002 as an institute of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. IMEN would conduct research on MEMS technology primarily the IRPA project given, together with five other research themes which are organic electronics, micro and nanoelectronic systems, MBE technology for high frequency devices (collaboration with TMR&D) and photonics technology. The microelectronics devices packaging research group joined IMEN in 2007.

MEMS is a system that integrates mechanical, sensor, actuator and electronic elements on one silicon chip through microfabrication technologies. The field of MEMS encompasses devices created with micromachining technologies originally developed to produce integrated circuits, as well as non-silicon based devices created by the same micromachining or other techniques. They can be classified as sensors, actuators and passive structures.
Sensors and actuators are transducers that convert one physical quantity to another, such as electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical, biological, optical or thermal phenomena. MEMS sensors commonly measure pressure, force, linear acceleration, rate of angular motion, torque, and flow. The sensing or actuation conversion con use a variety of methods. MEMS actuators provide the ability to manipulate physical parameters at the microscale, and can employ eletrostatic, thermal, magnetic, piezoelectric, piezores istive, and shape memory transformation methods. Passive MEMS structures such as micronozzles are used in atomizers, medical inhalers, fluid spray systems, fuel injection, and ink jet printers.
MEMS group at IMEN develops miniature sensor and actuator systems using microfabrication. IMEN also conducts research in MEMS wafer level packaging, RF MEMS, BioMEMS and biometrics extraction. Research in these areas is motivated by the potential to produce high performance, low-cost, miniature sensors and actuators for automotive, telecommunications and biomedical applications. The output of this project will be commercialized products, knowledge for academia and skilled labors in this area.

The history for advanced semiconductor packaging research group started since year 2003. The team was lead by Assoc. Prof. Ibrahim Ahmad by doing a research on Under Bump Metallurgy (UBM). This research project was the first collaboration within UKM and On Semiconductor Sdn. Bhd. It was funded by MOSTI based on EA grant in which the total are more than RM 200K. In the end of year 2004, the research group for semiconductor packaging in Malaysia has received an enermous research grant under RM-8 which is the grand total more than RM 26 million. There are several government institutions that involved in this research group which are Universiti Malaya, SIRIM Berhad and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia as the lead institution in bringing up all the activities under this research and development programme. RM 13 million out from the grand total research grant are being put under UKM. This includes with advanced equipment purchasing and salary for contract staff and graduate researcher and also consultation fees for the industrial expert. For now, all the researcher from UKM are trying to centralized the research activities by build up a new building in purpose for extra laboratory space, programme monitoring and graduate research assistant logistics. More than RM 7 million has been spent in purchasing the equipment and simulation software. All the purchased equipment and simulation software already being centralized under the laboratory. In early of year 2007, this group was recognized as Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (ASPAC) Research Group by Faculty of Engineering in UKM. This group already received more than RM30K research grant under research university budget in order to continue the research and development programme for advanced semiconductor packaging in UKM.

Research ThemeMBE Technology and III-VCompound Semiconductor
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a compound of two elements, gallium and arsenic. This semiconductor is used to make devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, infrared light emitting diodes, laser diodes and solar cells. GaAs has some electronics properties which are superior to silicon’s. It has a higher saturated velocity and higher electron mobility, allowing it to function at frequencies in excess of 250 GHz. Also, GaAs devices generate less noise than silicon devices when operated at high frequencies. They can also be operated at higher power levels than silicon device because they have higher breakdown voltages. These properties recommend GaAs circuitry in mobile phones, WLAN, satellite communications, microwave point-to-point links and some radar systems. It is used in the manufacture of Gunn diodes for generation of microwaves. For this research theme, the group focuses on the development of growth technologies for compound semiconductor materials using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and fabrication technologies of high speed devices. Other important activities include investigation of properties and physics of new advanced materials. C ollaboration with Telekom Research and Development (TMR&D) in III-V compound semiconductor research has been in progress since 1997. High speed devices such as high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), pseudomorphic HEMT (PHEMT), metamorphic HEMT (MHEMT) and VCSELs are studied especially about the structure of devices and characteristics of epitaxial layers. In advance, tailoring to future needs of green communication technology. Future research studies planned include development of high efficiency PV cells and high speed photodetectors heterostructure materials.
Research Projects• Epitaxial growth of MHEMT layer using Molecular Beam Epitaxy • Epitaxial growth of GINA structure for VCSEL

Public Lecture Prof Ille C. Gebeshuber “Biomimetics and Nanotechnology” April 14, 2011Senate Room, Chancellory Building, UKM
Abstract: One of the fascinating aspects of nanotechnology is that on the nanometre scale all the natural sciences meet and intertwine. Physics meets life sciences as well as engineering, chemistry, materials science and computational approaches, which altogether communicate and are closely linked. This inherent interdisciplinarity of nanotechnology offers enormous potential for fruitful crossfertilisation in specialist areas. Biomimetics is a prominent research area at the meeting place of life sciences with engineering and physics. Biomimetics deals with knowledge transfer from living nature to technology: underlying principles are identified and subsequently transferred to and applied in science, engineering and medicine. Nature excels at combining materials, structures and processes. Biomimetic nanotechnology is a continuously growing field that deals with knowledge transfer from biology to nanotechnology. Investigations of organisms on the nanoscale have wide ranging implications for the understanding of processes in healthy and health impaired living beings and ecosystems and yield novel approaches in engineering and medicine. Biomimetic nanotechnology is a field that has the potential to drive major technical advances and that might substantially support successful mastering of major global challenges. The scope of this lecture is to highlight research work performed by the author at the Institute of Microengineering and Nanoelectronics at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in the years 2009 and 2010. Bioinspired MEMS, a new concept for niche tourism in Malaysia (concerning innovation in nanomaterials engineering) and a novel concept for dynamic ways of scientific publishing and accessing human knowledge inspired by transdisciplinary approaches are treated in detail. The key objectives of these activities are to strengthen Malaysia as a research location and to determine new ways of doing and presenting science that are accessible for all.
