Liberalisation of Service Subsectors and Amendments to the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 IN as possible. to the by Ir. Dr Ooi Teik Aun Chairman, Consulting Engineers Special Interest Group

MALAYSIA undertakes various approaches to liberalising the services sector; unilaterally, as well as bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally through trade agreements. Through unilateral or autonomous liberalisation, Malaysia further opened several important services sub-sectors with the prime objective of accelerating growth, improving quality and standards and competitiveness of this sector.

IN line with the evolution of Si nanoelectronics, fundamental researches on emerging materials and novel processes and devices which could contribute towards future “smart electronics” and “green electronics” are aggressively being
a brief overview on the recent trend of electronics and introduces an outline of the author’s research projects on graphene, germanium and III-V semiconductor. The work has been carried out with the collaboration of Hokkaido University, Kyushu University, Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi MARA. These projects have been mainly funded by MOHE, MOSTI, UTM, MJIIT and the Hitachi Foundation.
The performance of silicon-large scale integrated circuits (Si-LSIs) has been enhanced over the last 30 years by increasing the number of transistors in accordance with Moore’s law. The number of transistors in the latest processor has already exceeded 1 billion [1]. The scaling rule of the Si transistor has made it possible to enhance the performance of the LSIs. However, the miniaturisation
to physical limitations, while the conventional scaling rule
Therefore, some breakthrough technologies are strongly required for the Si-LSIs in order to enhance the performance of the device, even in the post-scaling era.
The most promising breakthrough in technology are the new semiconductor materials with higher mobility than Si, which could increase the driving current of MOS transistors. Graphene, germanium (Ge) and III-V materials are some of the most promising candidates for new channel materials [Figure 1]. These materials are also expected to give high carrier injection velocity at the source terminal owing to their low effective mass and low carrier scattering, which
Ideally, those materials would need to be realised on the Si platform, meaning that they should be grown on largearea Si wafers by methods compatible with standard Si CMOS fabrication technology and also the Si CMOS LSI design environment. For example, since III-V has a higher electron mobility and Ge has a higher hole mobility than Si, those materials can be used for conventional n-MOS and p-MOS, respectively [3]. Hence, the present Moore’s Law (More Moore) can be further extended [Figure 1]. Those
materials (Graphene, Ge, III-V) grown on insulator on Si can not only be used to fabricate conventional metal-oxide-
other type of MOSFET devices with different switching principles, such as plasma wave FETs [4,5], tunnel FETs [6] and spin FETs [7]. This direction will lead to the ‘Beyond CMOS’ technology [Figure 1].
In addition, those materials on insulator on Si can also be used to fabricate other functional devices, such as optical devices [8], photodetectors [9] and solar batteries [10], to be integrated with conventional Si CMOS to realise new smart LSI chips such as intelligent system-on-chip on silicon. This direction will lead to the More than Moore technology [Figure 1]. As a result, by integrating such devices on a Si CMOS platform, the capability, functionality and also the value of the device system could be increased.As a next-generation technology, such advanced heterogeneous integration on the Si platform is considered as a promising and practical direction [11].
In recent years, graphene has attracted enormous attention as a possible substitute of silicon as a channel in CMOS technology due to its attractive and superior characteristics. Furthermore, graphene-based devices can also support the
recent trend of technology towards the so-called “green electronics” due to its non-toxic element and low power consumption. Graphene is a zero band gap semiconductor and carriers in the graphene behave as massless Dirac cm
graphene offers the possibility of the novel electronic device operating with ballistic transport, which occurs when the length of electron channel is shorter than the mean free path of the electron. Graphene also exhibits a unique ambipolar transport characteristic, where the conduction type of graphene can be tuned by applying suitable gate voltage [13].
In order to utilise and understand the potential of graphene, we have successfully conducted research on several physical key issues and on a graphene-based nanodevice, known as a three-branch nanojunction (TBJ)
graphene-based three-branch nanojunction device having high mobility at room temperature was demonstrated. Based is a potential new channel material for future electronic devices and our proposed TBJ device is a promising novel device that could replace the conventional CMOS.
High quality Ge layers on insulators (GOI) on silicon are promising materials to surpass the performance of the current silicon transistors since the mobility of electrons in germanium is two times greater, and the mobility of holes is 4 times greater than that in silicon [6]. Moreover, GOI structures are also important as channel materials of spintransistorsandvirtualsubstratesofdirect-bandgapmaterials with optical functions to create multifunctional 3D-LSIs. The high-quality orientation-controlled GOI structures are essential to realise such high-performance electronic and sensing devices and also to act as an epitaxial template for multifunctional 3D-LSIs.
In this work, we utilise the Si-seeded rapid-melting growth technique [15]. Here, the Si substrate is used as a seed to induce the lateral growth of Ge, since there is a
as a result of the Si-Ge mixing in the seeding area [Figure 3]. Thus far, our study shows that the growth of defectfree single-crystalline Ge stripes (< 5 µm width and µm 0.5 spacing) with a capping layer on the top can be achieved. These preliminary results provide a breakthrough towards the realisation of heterogeneous integration on Si platforms with multi-functionalities.
DEMONSTRATIONS OF SEVERAL KINDS OF FUNCTIONAL DEVICES ON III-V BASED MATERIALS (GAAS, GAN) TOWARDS ‘MORE THAN MOORE’AND ‘BEYOND CMOS’
higher intrinsic (p or n) mobility compared to silicon; thus they have the potential for enabling future high-speed transistors for digital applications at a very low supply of voltages. III-V compound semiconductors have been used in commercial communication and optoelectronic products for a long time. For III-V compound semiconductors to become applicable for future high-speed and low-power digital applications, they will need to be integrated onto large silicon wafers [11]. A seamless, robust heterogeneous integration scheme of III-V on silicon will allow high-speed, low-voltage III-V based transistors to couple with the mainstream Si CMOS platform, while avoiding the need for developing large diameter (=300mm) III-V substrates.
Besides transistor applications, successful integration of III-V materials on silicon also creates opportunities for integrating new functionalities and features on silicon, such as integrating logic, optoelectronic, and communication platforms on the same silicon wafer. However, heterogeneous integration of III-V on silicon imposes many mismatch between the two materials. It is noted here that presently, we do not focus on the growth of III-V on Si. Instead, we are focusing on the studies which intend to show the feasibility of applying those III-V materials for several kinds of functional devices such as three-branchjunction devices, sensing devices and detectors to be integrated on the Si platform.
(i) Logic Gates Based on Schottky GateControlled Three-Branch GaAs Nanowire Junctions
As Si CMOS technology had come to its scaling limit, a search for new nano-structured material such as integrated on Si platform. By utilising the unique features and structure of nanowire, a novel functional nanodevice is expected. One of the emerging devices utilising nanowire is the three-branch nanowire junction (TBJ) device [16]. In this project, a GaAs-based TBJ with Schottky wrap gates (WPGs) was investigated to realise novel Boolean logic
TBJ showed a bell-shaped voltage input-output curve and was controlled by gate voltage on the WPGs. The correct operations of AND gate, NOT gate and NAND gate have
(ii) III-V Semiconductor Based Integrated OnChip HEMT Devices for RF Power Detector in Nanosystems
Explosive growth of internets and wireless technologies has opened up prospects towards an advanced ubiquitous
network society where nanoelectronic devices are the most promising option for such technologies. Therefore, those nanoelectronic systems are increasingly vulnerable to malfunction due to incident electromagnetic radiation, particularly since many integrated circuits operate at lower andlowervoltages.Then,itbecomesagreatinteresttoknow how, and at what level, microwaves penetrate equipment shielding and reach the vulnerable chips. Schottky diode was designed and fabricated on n-AlGaAs/GaAs high-electron-mobility-transistor structure for RF power detection [Figure 5] [17-19]. The fabricated Schottky diodes detected RF signals well and their cut-off frequencies up
These preliminary results provide a breakthrough for the direct on-chip integration technology towards realisation of heterogeneous integration on the Si platform.
Many semiconductor materials have been tested for their suitability as ion sensors; especially there is an emerging interest in the use of wide band gap semiconductors as sensitive chemical sensors. AlGaN/GaN high-electronmobility-transistor (HEMT) structures have been extremely useful for gas and liquid-phase sensors due to their excellent properties. Sensing responses of an open-gate liquid-phase sensor fabricated on undoped-AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) structure have
The open-gate undoped AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure is capable of distinguishing pH level in aqueous electrolytes and exhibits linear sensitivity, where the high sensitivity of 1.9 mA/pH or 3.88 mA/mm/pH was obtained. The fabricated open-gate undoped-AlGaN/GaN structure is expected to be suitable for pH sensing application.
sensors are strongly demanded to avoid hazardous explosion.Hightemperatureoperationandlongtermstability are important requirements for a gas sensor. GaN based materials are known as wide-bandgap semiconductors that show great promise for electronic devices operating at high temperatures. The response of Pt-circular Schottky diodes fabricated on undoped AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobilitytransistor (HEMT) structure to hydrogen gas at various

IN Safety Management Systems, many of the systems deal with Risk Based Loss Prevention which is more proactive. Topics pertaining to Risk Based Loss Reduction will be discussed in the coming articles. Even though this is reactive in nature, we shall still need to be prepared when unexpected events happen. Before we begin, let us take a look at the following table to get an overview of the types of risk treatment methods, their explanation and examples. However, we shall skip the Fire Protection Systems and focus on the Business Continuity Plans. In fact, the scope of Business Continuity Planning is larger than the scope of safety. Yet, safety takes a huge chunk of the responses required and many safety professionals are involved.
Let us start with some basics. The term, Business Crisis and Continuity Management (BCCM), as used by the United

States’FEMA,willbeusedinplaceofCrisisManagementand Business Continuity Management. Different organisations would either use the term, Crisis Management or Business Continuity as an umbrella heading, and sometimes they are used interchangeably.
We will look at a simpler model on how to actually ensure that BCCM works. We will start off with the textbook stuff and then move onto a method which you can easily use without having to ransack all the manuals during a crisis!
If you would like to refer to a certain standard, it would be a good starting point to check out the ISO 22301:2012, on “Societal Security – Business Continuity Management System – Requirements”.

IN conjunction with Engineering Week 2012, The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) organised the Engineer’s Run 2012 on 9 September 2012 to promote a healthy lifestyle amongst engineers and create awareness of the running event organised by IEM, which was sponsored by Maccaferri Sdn. Bhd. (Platinum), Technip Sdn. Bhd. (Gold), Malakoff Bhd. (Gold) and Media Asia Sdn. Bhd. (Media)
A total of 300 IEM members and non-members responded positively towards this event by participating in the run. This race was organised into 6 different categories according to gender and age. Dataran MBPJ was the chosen venue, since it offered a really challenging running route along the roads surrounding the site.
On 9 Sept 2012, 37 volunteers from Runner’s Malaysia arrived at the venue early in the morning to set up the registration booth before the arrival of the participating runners. The volunteers took up their respective responsibilities as route marshals, time keepers, checkpoint control personnel.
At 7.30 a.m., the crowd started to appear. Some participants came in fancy costumes aligned with the best
engineer’s costume competition that we had for this fun run. The spirit of excitement was in the air. A lady dressed in a graduation gown and an engineer equipped with hardware tools made out of polystyrene caught the attention of all when they appeared. After the registration, everyone gathered to do some warm-up exercises prior to the race.
the starter’s gun went off, the participants began their 3.2-kilometre run. On the other hand, the volunteers were getting ready at their respective stations, waiting for the return of the racers. In about 10 minutes, our fastest runner came into sight with a broad grin on his face. It was pretty amazing that he managed to complete the race within such a short time. Again, it proved that engineers are not just workaholics, but they do maintain a healthy lifestyle by participating in sports too!
Some very sporty families came with their kids and even a 6 month old baby. That is the spirit that the organising committee wishes to see whenever they organise such events. The sight of parents running while pushing the strollers with their toddlers in them had really made the run more eventful than it already was.
In about half an hour, most of the runners including the young kids were back at the gathering point. Food and everybody was chilling and networking with one another, the organiser prepared some lucky prizes to the lucky ones. Amongst the prizes were RM50 Jusco vouchers, Columbia water bottles and Brookes caps. That was a thrilling moment where everyone kept looking at their numbers, waiting impatiently to be called.
Our Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education,
the launching of the Engineering Week 2012. After an inspiring speech from Datuk Ir. Dr Wee and Ir. Choo, the event proceeded with the prize giving ceremony. Three grand prizes were given away to the three best dressed participants of the day. The patriotic One Malaysia lady
graduation gown and last but not least, the very passionate engineer with his ‘tools’ were the three winners for the best costumes. Next, was the presentation of prizes to the top 5 runners for each category. A group picture was taken at the
end to mark the glorious moment for these runners with their trophies.
Overall, everything went smoothly and ended on time All the participants had had an enjoyable experience despite
organised by IEM, we look forward to receiving constructive suggestions in making this event a better one next year. Pushing it to be an annual event and aiming to have larger participation and a better route are some of the aspirations that the organising committee have set. It would be very encouraging to see IEM members getting involved in such events with their families to build a stronger bond amongst members.
The organising committee would like to thank the IEM Excomm members, the IEM Council members, the Standing Committee on Welfare and Service Matters, the IEM Secretariat and our main sponsors Maccaferri Sdn. Bhd. (Platinum), Technip Sdn. Bhd. (Gold), Malakoff Bhd. (Gold) and Media Asia Sdn. Bhd. (Media) and all other sponsors whom have made this event a successful one.

HAD I not been informed earlier, I would have probably passed by this island, Hashima, and could have mistaken it for a huge battleship. The seawall embankments of this island make up the hull while the multi-storey reinforced concrete apartments and other buildings could easily be mistaken as the superstructure of a ship. It was a sight of wonder and bewilderment. Hashima, the Battleship Island, also commonly known as Gunkanjima, is actually an island with an extensive but now completely abandoned seabed coalmine.
When I was in school, I was taught that Japan is a country void of natural mineral resources. That was one of the reasons that the Japanese started their expansion and invasion of other countries and led them into World War II. However, there is a small island called Takashima where coal was found in 1695 and later in 1810, a much smaller island, Hashima, was also found to have coal.
Mitsubishi Ltd. Partnership started a full-scale seabed coal mining operation on Hashima in 1890 and the small barren rocky island was expanded stage-by-stage through land reclamation until it had reached its present size and shape which is three times of its original size. Hashima is now 480m long and 160m wide. It lies 19 kilometres south of Nagasaki port which incidentally became the shipyard for battleship construction during the era of wars.The extensive mine tunnels reached down to more than 1km below sea level and stretched out horizontally to more than 2km.
multi-storey apartments, hospital, schools and a shrine were built on the island. These structures were constructed strong enough to withstand the sea storms and typhoons. A swimming pool with seawater was also constructed. At one time, the population of this island was 5,000. This was 7 times the density of population in Tokyo at that time.
There were a lot of hardships and population had to endure such as shortage of fresh water, food and vegetables, all of which had to be transported from the main island. The supply of

in communication with the main island, the raging seasons and also the unexpected storms and typhoons for which Japan is well-known for were also part of the hardships which the residents of Hashima need to endure.
The Hashima coalmine was closed in 1974 due to the decrease in the demand of coal for energy generation, when the demand shifted from coal to oil and nuclear power. The island was abandoned and was subjected to the destructive forces of the storms and typhoons which had damaged a lot of the structures. However, from 2009, the authorities have begun to look into protecting and preserving the island as an industrial heritage site.
