INVITED SPEAKER

PROF. DATUK ISMAIL BIN IBRAHIM

MUAR-born DATUK ISMAIL BIN IBRAHIM received his early education at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar and went on to study town planning at the

Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

He is registered with the Board of Town Planners Malaysia and started his career in the civil service in 1983 as a town planning officer attached to the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning, Ministry of Housing and Local Government. In 1990 he was awarded the British Council Fellowship to specialise in Planning Law in Newcastle University, England.

In April 2003, he was appointed as Penang State Town and Country Planning Department Director. In February 2006, he was seconded as Khazanah Nasional’s Senior Vice President of Special Projects to oversee the planning of the southern economic region in Johor, known today as Iskandar Malaysia. In January 2009, Ismail was appointed as Director of Physical Planning Division, Town and Country Planning Department at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. There, he was tasked to manage the preparation and revision of the National Physical Plan. That document served as a key input for the 10th Malaysian Plan. He also served as Secretariat to the National Physical Planning Council chaired by the Prime Minister. Effective 1 January 2010, Ismail was appointed as the Chief Executive of Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA). His main responsibility is to advise the Prime Minister and Menteri Besar Johor as co-chairmen of the Board of IRDA in planning and implementing the economic, physical and social development strategies to meet the vision of realising the Iskandar Development Region as a Strong and Sustainable Metropolis of International Standing.

Amongst his many achievements in IRDA include securing a total cumulative investment worth RM138 billion for the period 2006 to April 2014 and the successful execution of public infrastructure projects worth RM7 billion for Iskandar Malaysia. He was responsible for coordinating and facilitating public private cooperation to develop Iskandar Malaysia through various programmes such as human capital and entrepreneurship, safety and security, public transportation, housing and the environment. Datuk Ismail had previously served as part time lecturer in University of Malaya (UM), International Islamic University (UIA), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) between 1993 and 2002. He is currently a Board Member of the Malaysia Town Planners Board, past Vice President of the Malaysia Institute of Planners (MIP), President of MCOBA Southern Chapter and a Harvard Business School Alumni. He sits in the Malaysia – Singapore Business Council and a member of the National Bio Technology Council.

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and warm greetings

On behalf of the organizing committee, Research and Innovation section it is my pleasure to welcome you to MRC 2014, MITEC Research Colloquium 2014. This colloquium is annual event organized by Research and Innovation Section, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Industrial Technology (UniKL MITEC).

With theme “Engineering and Science advancement in Malaysia” MRC 2014 aimed to bring all researchers under one umbrella in order to present research results, to share ideas, encourage research culture among lecturers and students, discuss on future research collaborations, improve knowledge and skills, confirm correctness of obtained results, exchange views and to publish research findings. One of the main concerns of the event is to support UniKL in WE4ASIA initiative, where the outcome expected to be one of the top universities in Asia by 2020. Note that last two years (2012 and 2013) Colloquium organized as an internal event where all participants were UniKL MITEC staff.

MRC 2014 converted to be a regional research activity and welcomed all academicians from Universities and colleges in Johor state. We are honoured to receive over 60 applications (papers and posters) send by internal and external researchers of various academic institutions, such as UiTM Pasir Gudang, UniKL MIAT, UniKL MFI, UPSI and UniKL MITEC.

My utmost gratitude and appreciation to invited speaker Prof. Datuk Ismail Ibrahim, Chief Executive of Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), for his cooperation. I would like to thank all participants for your interest to MRC 2014 and support given.

ABSTRACT

The team from Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL

MIAT) had actuated several testing of several materials in 1G, Hyper, and Microgravity

conditions. The best material would eventually be selected for the production of Space

Undergarment which would be used by astronauts during space travel or stay at

International Space Station. Modacrylic, Olefin, Aramid, and Cotton were tested and Aramid

had turned out to be the most suitable but further testings are needed to further verify this.

Parabolic Flights over the airspace of Japan were actuated to gain data during Hyper and

Microgravity Conditions. This paper describes the testings and results. Anomalies were also

discussed in this paper.

Keywords: Microgravity, Hypergravity, Transfer Rate, Washburn Equation, Parabolic Flight

Jabatan Bahasa dan Kesusasteraan Melayu, Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI)

Jabatan Logistik Industri, Universiti Kuala Lumpur (MITEC) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

ABSTRAK

Penulisan ini mengaplikasi teori semiotik sebagai landasan dalam menginterpretasi puisi Tri-

V (verbal-vokal-visual) “Gakgakgak” ciptaan Abdul Ghafar Ibrahim (AGI). Fragmen penelitian

dibahagikan kepada dua. Pertama menelusuri kaedah penganalisaan teori semiotik. Kedua

menganalisa maksud-maksud perlambangan yang dikonstruk dalam puisi Tri-V “Gakgakgak”.

Berdasarkan kepada penelitian yang dijalankan terhadap kedua-dua fragmen di atas,

didapati teori semiotik memainkan peranan untuk mengkategorikan tanda serta petanda

dalam merungkai makna tersurat mahupun tersirat dalam puisi “Gakgakgak”. Dapatan kajian

mendapati, puisi ini cuba mengangkat suara masyarakat bawahan dalam memprotes serta

menuntut hak mereka yang sekian lama dirampas serta dinafikan. Kesemua elemen ini

dikenalpasti berdasarkan pentafsiran kodifikasi teori semiotik. Secara kesimpulannya, puisi

Tri-V AGI merupakan karya yang unik dan sarat dengan perlambangan serta sesuai untuk

ditekuni oleh penuntut IPTS khususnya yang mengambil subjek Bahasa Kebangsaan di bawah

kursus MPW (kini dikenali sebagai MPU).

Kata Kunci: Teori, semiotik, puisi Tri-V, “Gakgakgak”.

ABSTRACT

This article paper presents a research report about the application of clustering method in order to

optimize set-up time for cancer radiation treatment in healthcare service. Through this research, it

will eliminate non value added activities while improve the time performance during the set-up

process. In order to implement a successful model of healthcare process, data collection was

classified according to suitable cluster method which helps to determine whether two objects are

similar or dissimilar. The relevant data obtained from the cluster method was analyzed by using

Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) Software. The AMOS Software helps to specify, estimate,

assess and present models to show hypothesized relationships among variables. The software

allows build models more accurately than with standard multivariate statistics techniques. The

results of this research will be used as a guideline for hospital in providing more efficient ways to

improve hospital performance and satisfaction of the customers (patients) can be achieved.

ABSTRACT

Energy is important in all aspects of development to support population growth, urbanization,

industrialization as well as tourism industry. Most of energy sources in Malaysia are based on fossil

fuels. The usage of fossil fuels in energy generation has contributed to the emissions of greenhouse

gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide that is responsible for climate changes. This study

considers the problem to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from Sultan Iskandar Power Station that

is located in Iskandar Malaysia region. The objective of this study is to apply a Mixed Integer Linear

Programming (MILP) optimization model under certain constraints to determine the best strategy

for carbon dioxide reduction in power station. The model included two potential carbon dioxide

mitigation options, which are energy source switching and implementation of solar energy in power

station.

Keywords: Energy generation, Carbon dioxide emissions, Energy source switching, Solar energy.

ABSTRACT

Knee injury is one of the most common injuries in sports activities or events. Failure to detect it

would jeopardize the athletes’ future. Knee image processing is studied for the development of an

aided system to identify knee injury. Medical experts use invasive arthroscopy diagnostic, physical

test and observation based on non-invasive Magnetic Resonant Image (MRI) interpretation to

diagnose anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injuries. Although arthroscopy system is also used,

MRI has more benefits since it is cost effective and less dangerous to patients. However, medical

experts analyze the MRI images using their naked eyes. This increases the possibilities for wrong

analysis. To overcome the problem, this study aims to develop an intelligent system which involves

a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to assist the medical experts in making decisions to decide on the

types of ACL knee injury. FIS has not yet been used in knee image processing until recently. Image

processing steps such as resizing, cropping, and filtering are incorporated together with feature

extraction which is then used as input to the FIS. FIS is used to decide the type of knee injury

because of its flexibility in determining membership functions. The end results in the identification

of ACL injury is in the form of a classification based on complete tear (CT), a partial tear (PT), and

normal classes. The analysis of results based on comparison between the FIS and medical experts’

opinions reveal an accuracy of 92%. This demonstrates the possibility of employing the FIS

technique for ACL knee injury classification.

ABSTRACT

Supply chain today has already become a knowledge that is necessary for every firms in the last

couple of years. In order to manage the high driven business, an organisation must follow the set of

rules to strive and be competitive. Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) is a process

reference model that has been developed by Supply Chain Council (SCC) as a diagnostic tool of

supply chain management. It is popular because it was used vastly and was able to guide the

industry with the best practice requirements. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the

SCOR weaknesses and to find a feasible alternative that can replace SCOR. There will be a

discussion on the SCOR’s five distinct management processes; PLAN, SOURCE, MAKE, DELIVER, and

RETURN to argue the feasibility of the processes for any business process in any kind of situation.

To make a fair evaluation, this paper will investigate intensively about the alternative and why it

can replace the SCOR model as a diagnostic tool.

ABSTRACT

Variable Geometry Tracked Vehicle (VGTV) mobile robot configuration has successfully

demonstrated its capability to traverse on unstructured ground surface in many military and

disaster rescue activities. This paper presents a geometric analysis and control strategy for a new

VGTV with independent track control which is developed to traverse on uneven terrain especially in

unstructured environment. A simple leadscrew-flipper mechanism control scheme that considers

the effect of track deformation is presented. The behaviour of track length is studied in simulation.

It is shown that with a knowledge of leadscrew operation and flipper angle relationship, a nearly

constant track length is achievable.

Keywords: VGTV, uneven terrain, mesh analysis.

ABSTRACT

The closed cracks tip such as fatigue cracks and stress corrosion cracks (SCC) is the most important

part of the crack in the material that is required to examine because of their accelerated growth.

Shear wave of 5MHz in frequency with large amplitude incident to the SS400 steel specimen,

containing of closed crack and notch crack with the height of 2mm and 5mm for both type of

cracks. PZT-P(VDF/TrFE) ultrasonic transducer which was fabricated in this experiment was used for

a measurement of nonlinear ultrasound. As the results, the 5MHz of frequency component was

ABSTRACT

A port is a facility for receiving ships and transferring cargo and passengers. They are usually

situated at the edge of an ocean, sea, river or lake. Ports often have cargo-handling equipment such

as cranes (operated by longshoremen) and forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships, which

may be provided by private interests or public bodies. Harbour pilots, barges and tugboats are

often used to safely maneuver large ships in tight quarters as they approach and leave the docks.

Ports which handle international traffic will have customs facilities. The terms "port" and "seaport"

are used for ports that handle ocean-going vessels. This paper reviews some of the basic functions

and roles of a seaport.

ABSTRACT

Massive amount of soil and water have been contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon

(TPHs), including diesel and petrochemical products, due to the economic and industrial activities.

Petroleum products contain chemicals that are carcinogenic and potentially mutagenic.

Phytoremediation, the use of plant to treat the petroleum hydrocarbon contamination had been

used in this study. Diesel was chosen to represent the petroleum hydrocarbon contamination and

analyzed as the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPHs). The plant used as a phytoremediator was

Paspalum scrobiculatum L.Hack. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed, using a Box-

Behnken design to optimize the three variables, which are diesel concentration, sampling day and

aeration in order to get the maximum TPH degradation of diesel. From the analysis of variance

(ANOVA), the value (0.8530) of the coefficient of determination (R2) was obtained. The optimal

condition was established at diesel concentration of 3.00 g/kg, 70 days of sampling day and 0.27

L/min of aeration. Under optimal value of parameters, the maximum TPH degradation of diesel was

found to be 75%.

ABSTRACT

According to Gahungu (2007), learners' use of learning strategies can influence their language

learning ability and affect their self-efficacy. There are 6 strategies namely memory strategies,

cognitive strategies, compensation strategies, metacognitive strategies, affective strategies and

social strategies. Self-efficacy is a skill that is not already embedded in the self of a learner. It is

generated and developed. Past research have shown the relationship between language learning

strategies and learners' self-efficacy. This study is intended to look into detail on students’

preferences of strategies and how those strategies affect their level of proficiency in second

language acquisition. The result of this study will have interesting findings on how language

learning strategies influence self-efficacy.

ABSTRACT

Freight transport by road is the most frequent and cheapest mode of inland traffic in Malaysia due

to its flexibility and cheap prices. However, the importance of freight transport by road is often not

fully understood by others due to negative impact behind the distribution and this affects its

effectiveness in general. This paper therefore, aims to examine the challenges and factors

threatening, that influence the distribution’s effectiveness. The prescription in this paper is based

on the syntheses of critical analyses of the quantitative data from 70 industrial responses (haulage

companies) and review of extent literature. The result of the quantitative data is being processed

by using Partial Least Square Analysis (PLS) and the findings establish that ‘Authority’ and

‘Management’ have positive significant to the efficiency in freight transport by road.

Kampus Pasir Gudang, Bandar Seri Alam, Masai, Pasir Gudang, Johor


ABSTRACT

Pleurotus ostreatus (a type of white rot fungi) was used in the removal of dangerous substance

which existed in both water and soil. Among dangerous materials which commonly contaminated

water and soil are including of naphthalene and heavy metal ions. These dangerous chemicals

should be removed due to their toxicity characteristics. However, the conventional methods in the

removal have some limitations where there is a need to introduce alternative method through

biological removal. The removal of naphthalene from soil and heavy metal ions from wastewater

had shown the capabilities of Pleurotus ostreatus in the bioremoval at higher efficiency. In the

removal of naphthalene from the soil in a batch mode, 84% of it being degrade and further

enhanced with addition oil palm fibre (OPF) to 98%. The biodegrdation study from soils was

conducted for 22 days. Furthermore, almost 17.02% of Cr(III), 55.35% of Fe(II), 36.80% of Pb(II),

15.34% of Cu(II) and 13.34% of Zn(II) of heavy metal ions are successfully being removed from

wastewater under suitable treatment conditions. This validates that Pleurotus ostreatus is a good

biosorbent agent in the removal of dangerous chemicals.

ABSTRACT

Paper mill industry is one of the largest water consumption industries discharging variety of organic

compounds and other soluble substances generated for the paper manufacturing process. A lab-

scale granular activated carbon sequencing batch biofilm reactor (GAC-SBBR), a combined

adsorption and biological process, was developed to remove the chemical oxygen demand (COD)

from the paper mill wastewater. The GAC-SBBR was fed with real wastewater taken from the

recycled paper mill located in Kajang, Malaysia which had high concentration of chemical oxygen

demand, COD (1200±100 mg/L).The Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed, using a

central composite design (CCD) to optimize the two important variables, i.e., hydraulic retention

time (HRT) and organic loading rate (OLR) in order to remove the COD concentration. From the

analysis of variance (ANOVA), the value (0.9965) of the coefficient of determination (R2) was

obtained. The optimal condition was established at HRT of 21.7 hours and OLR of 0.19 mg/L/day.

The removal efficiency was found to be 90.33%. This study shows that the GAC-SBBR result of a

combination of adsorption and biological processes was able to treat the real paper mill

wastewater containing high concentrations of COD.

ABSTRACT

Many new brake pad products for the passenger car are available at after-market shops and sold at

low prices. These products are categorized as non-asbestos products, and it is available mainly to

support the demand from non-service center workshops. Since there are multiple brands of new

brake pads available in the market, many users tend to rely on recommendation from technicians

rather than to refer to the recommended car manufacturer’s specifications. Braking performance

will be affected at its optimum level if the type of brake pads used is not suitable, thus, affects the

thickness of the brake disc. In this study, three types of brake pads will be analyzed from the

selected well-known brands found in most after-market shops. Each brake pad will be tested in real

driving conditions. The thickness measurement of the brake pads and brake discs will be recorded

and consolidated and later objected to an analysis. The results from this can be applied as a

guideline for vehicle users to choose types of brake pads that suitable for their daily driving

conditions.

ABSTRACT

The implementation of safety management, environmental management and the certification of

quality management has become the prerequisite for an organization in transforming itself into

becoming an organization which has competitiveness and sustainability factors. It also becomes a

measurement gauge in determining their organizational performances. The integration of these

management systems within an automotive services industry has neither been prominent nor

transformational. Further to that, there are some organizations in the industry that do not apply

these systems completely. In this paper, the level of current implementations of these integrated

management system is discussed. While the obstacles ascertained related to the implementation

are also highlighted. A conceptual model on the implementation of an integrated management

system within the automotive service industry is proposed. The model is expected to be a reference

for all future implementations of integrated management system intended within the automotive

service industry.

ABSTRACT

In this research, previous research only investigate the feasibility of this durian peel wastes in

removing heavy metal from wastewater but none of them had investigated in removing oil by using

durian peel wastes. This shows that durian peel is also able to remove and clean up oil spill and thus

the objective has been achieved. The research method is based on the effect of adsorbent

conditions on the adsorption of oil was investigated by using different conditions which are natural

durian peel powder and treated durian peel powder as an adsorbent. Based on the result, the

highest percentage of oil removal for a fixed 1.0 gram adsorbent dosage is on used vegetable oil,

meanwhile, the lowest percentage is of removing lubricant oil, both using the natural durian peel

powder. Compared to 2.0 gram adsorbent dosage, it is vice versa from natural durian peel powder

which are the highest percentage is removing of lubricant oil and the lowest is removing used

vegetable oil both using treated durian peel powder.

ABSTRACT

"Every light is a shade, compared to the higher lights, till you come to the sun; and every shade is a

light, compared to the deeper shades, till you come to the night." John Ruskin, 1879.

This paper presents the energy and economic impact analysis on exchanging old light bulbs in a

library building into better efficiency light bulbs. Electricity consumption data is gathered and

compared with projected electricity savings from installing new lighting setup. Low energy light

bulbs are introduced and proposed based on the flexibility of installation, performance, cost and

lifetime. The calculation involving investment cost, monthly energy cost, payback period and

Carbon Dioxide savings are calculated the proposed new lighting system. The results are simulated

using DIALux software, commercially available computer simulation software to visualise the new

system lighting distribution. The results from this study provide some general knowledge on how

much savings can be generated from replacing lighting, thus enabling possibilities to explore deeper

into lighting energy efficiency projects.

ABSTRACT

Based on raw Cucumis melo Peel wastes (CMP), two kinds of oil absorbers with high sorption

capacity were prepared by a chemical modification process. The rough surface of Cucumis melo

plays an important role in the retention of oil. The CMP powder can quickly absorb lubricant oil

waste, vegetable oil, and used vegetable oil up to above 66.8%, 70.4% and 77.8% of oil sorption

capacity of modified CMP, respectively. The absorbed oils can be easily recovered by a simple

physical method either on direct surface or on water surface. The results suggest that the modified

CMP can be used as a low-cost alternative for the removal of oil spilled on water surface.

ABSTRACT

The flow behaviour around Whitcomb winglets were investigated using experimental approach and

numerical study. The experimental approach uses PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) while the

numerical study uses FLUENT. The investigation was made for a Whitcomb’s winglet at water

velocity of 2.34 m/s, at Re = 2.33x106and a clean wing also at the same configuration. This paper

focuses on the connections of both and Whitcomb’s winglet and a clean wing and the formation of

vortex around their winglets. From this investigation, it can be said that the vortex moves in a

circular motion, from the bottom part of a winglet, which is the higher pressure part to the upper

part of the winglet, which is the lower pressure part of the wingtip device. From this investigation,

it was proven that the Whitcomb’s winglet produced better results compared to the clean wing in

terms of the vorticity produced, thus reducing the induced drag.

Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA Johor Campus Pasir Gudang, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

ABSTRACT

High suspended materials naturally present in water bodies or present by human activities has

decreased the quality of water. Removing suspended materials by sedimentation process using

sedimentation tanks is commonly practiced. However, not much study on the effect of baffled

sedimentation tank has been reported. Use of baffles in sedimentation tanks to lengthen the

movement of water requires good understanding on sedimentation process and factors affecting

sedimentation process. In this study, laboratory experimental works used baffled sedimentation

tank was conducted. Several initial concentrations of clay and silt particles of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4

were tested in tank. Samples were collected at several points in a tank and tested for turbidity,

total suspended solids and output concentration. The result from turbidity and total suspended

solids measurement showed that percentage reduction in a baffled sedimentation tank were higher

than in tank without baffles, with average of 80.46% compared to 40.77% and average of 77.91%

compared to 54.24% respectively. The reduction of concentration in baffled tank with average of

80.21%, while in tank without baffles was average of 66.34%. From the results, it is feasible to

practice baffles in a sedimentation tank, as baffled sedimentation tank is an effective settling

media.

ABSTRACT

This paper addresses the influence of the static and dynamic laboratory compaction procedures in

the compaction curves and mechanical shear strength of cohesive soils from Klang Valley. The

laboratory testing method was directed to make a comparison of maximum dry density and shear

strength values between these two methods. An unconfined compression test (UCT) which has

been used for judging the relative degree of particle orientation of a series of samples of the same

soil compacted to the same water content and density conditions is to compare the stress-strain

curves. Based on the laboratory results, it was found that the static pressure method is more

practical and sensible than the dynamic compaction where static compaction gives higher in density

and shear strength event used less energy during compaction process. Thus, Soil A for static

compaction gives the value of MDD= 1.84 Mg/m3, the amount of energy input E= 538.96 kJ/m3, and

shear strength value Cu= 366.5 kPa. Then, soil A for dynamic compaction gives the value of MDD=

1.79 Mg/m3, the amount of energy input E= 597 kJ/m3, and shear strength value Cu= 327 kPa. This

type of research is developed to improve engineering parameter, especially for road construction

design.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this project is to assess the level of customer knowledge in Islamic banking in order

to examine the relationship between the customer knowledge management and customer

satisfaction in Islamic banking Johor Bahru. The work of Islamic bank drives from Islamic principal

which is different with the conventional bank. Therefore, it is important for Islamic banks to

determine what customers expect and needs in their products and service in order to improve the

level of satisfaction by using the Islamic banks services and products. Nowadays, Islamic bank has a

strong competition with the conventional bank because they face different customer expectation

to receive the high quality services that they serve. Therefore, Islamic bank should have other

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the effectiveness of disaster aid programmed through various elements of

logistics operations. The flood recovery and relief programmes in Parit Sulong, Batu Pahat have

been studied due to the numerous complaints from victims. The issues arose after the disaster

event, related to the supply of information of disasters warning, late of rescued and insufficient

inventory aids at evacuation centre. As logistics operations play a vital role in three phases of

disaster management life cycle; preparation, response and rehabilitation, the planning of logistics is

being studied. This paper aimed to access the level of satisfaction of victims towards the planning

of people and movement of goods during the disaster. The quantitative data collection has been

used in this research by distributing the survey forms to the sample size of total victims. There are

many improvements could be done by the government agencies and private institution to provide

better relief towards the victims. Through this study, the researcher will help to improve the

planning of people and movement of goods in disaster aid programmes.

Keywords: humanitarian logistics; customer satisfaction; disaster aid programmed; planning of

people; planning of movement of good; logistics in flood disaster relief

DEVELOPMENT OF RECYCLE BIN SYSTEM BY USING SENSOR

Ismail S.A, Fatimah Shafiah Azam and Nazatul Amira Abdul Mutalib

ABSTRACT

The recycle bin system by using sensor is pervasive technology that can be used to improve waste

management by providing early automatic sorting waste at bin. This is to improve the quality of

selective sorting. This approach is based on local interactions of recycle bin to track the waste flow

of green container. Each waste is detected by information properties stored in sensor and PLC

component associated to it. At each step where waste is to be processed, the PLC is read in order to

provide the relevant information. This process improves the sorting quality of recycle produces.

ABSTRACT

Failure of solder joints has been a serious reliability problem in microelectronic packages. This

phenomenon is more prevail in die-attach industry, particularly in power semiconductor whereby

the electronic components is often exposed to high operating temperature. The formation and

growth of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer between the solder and the substrate tends to

change accordingly to the operating temperature of the solder joint. It is often reasoned that the

mechanical integrity of the solder joint is degraded by the inherent brittleness of the IMC layer

since cracking can readily occur when the joint is mechanically or thermally stressed. In present

work, the shear strength of Pb-2.5Ag-2Sn and Sn-25Ag-10Sb solder joints on copper (Cu) substrate

is studied. The two types of solder used are of lead-based and lead-free solder that are commonly

used as bond pad in electronic packaging industry. The use of shear testing is included in the study

to evaluate accelerated thermo-cycling as a method that has commonly been used for reliability

assessment and lifetime prediction. Thermal aging accelerates the development of cracks and

structural changes that will eventually weaken a solder joint.
