DEMOCRATIZED WEARABLE ELECTRONICS USING DIY ASSEMBLY OF PAPER

AND HIGH PERFORMANCE CMOS ELECTRONICS

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mustafa Hussain

Abstract: We always hear about smart cities, but rarely, we hear about smart villages although

nearly half of the world’s population live in rural areas. While today’s most advanced technologies

are geared toward a more digital future, precision healthcare, enhanced convenience and safety – but

they are mostly for those who can afford them easily and most probably they already live a more

comfortable life. It might be alarming that in addition to gross income inequality, there is an

increasing rise of gross technological inequality. Therefore, by developing accessible (affordable

and simple) electronic technologies with sustainable materials and processes and for sustainable

applications, we can assist those billions to augment the quality of their life.

Therefore, we are singularly focused on developing and deploying democratized wearable

electronics. Electronics which are carefully designed and optimally crafted using non-functionalized

sustainable household materials, environmentally benign processes and assembled through Do-It-

Yourself (DIY) integration strategies. Our objective is to develop electronics which are simple to

learn and easy to use. Therefore, we are making them interactive thus anyone can use them – anyone

from any age group without any language or financial barrier. We use a minimalist approach in the

context of using fully flexible CMOS electronics for data and cost management. A few applications

will be shown focusing on paper skin, paper watch, wearable stethoscope, and oddly enough how

such low-cost technology can be used to fight against medication related overdose or addiction.

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mustafa Hussain (PhD, ECE, UT Austin,

Dec 2005) is currently a Professor of EECS, UC Berkeley. He was

also a founding Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering,

KAUST. Before that, he was Program Manager in SEMATECH

(2008-2009) and Process Integration Lead for 22 nm node FinFET

CMOS in Texas Instruments (2006-2008). His research is focused on

futuristic electronics which has received support from DARPA,

Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GSK-Novartis, Saudi ARAMCO and

SABIC. He has authored 450+ research papers and patents. His

students are working in MIT Media Lab, Stanford, Caltech, UC

Berkeley, Harvard, UCLA, Intel, TSMC, and DOW Chemicals. He is

a Fellow of American Physical Society and Institute of Physics (UK),

a distinguished lecturer of IEEE Electron Devices Society, and an Editor of IEEE T-ED. His research

has been extensively highlighted by international media (CNN, Fox News, Washington Post, WSJ,

National Geographic, Forbes, IEEE Spectrum, etc.) including being featured by Scientific American as

one of the top 10 world changing ideas in 2014.

SECURITY IN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING

Ir. Ts. Bernard Lim

Abstract: In our everyday life today, semiconductor plays a particularly important role. One could

consider that most of our daily use devices will have semiconductor devices in it. For one instance,

it could just be used as a simple device to turn on and off our light switch, but it also may play an

important role in devices that keeps people alive. More so now, when we are talking about

digitalization, our every day-to-day information has now been digitized and feedback into a

centralize big data storage either physically or in the cloud. Another buzz word that has now play

an important role is Internet of things, IoT. There is an increase in diversity and complexity of IoT

applications that creates a lot of challenges in System on a Chip designers. One of the aspects that

becomes crucial will be implementing security at the design phases, building hardware that

incorporates hardened security features to ensure that devices are protected throughout their lifecycle

from chip manufacturing to day-to-day deployment, to decommissioning.

This presentation shares some of practices and challenges that are been used to ensure security

hardening primarily in the hardware.

Ir. Ts. Bernard Lim is currently Vice President of Appscard Group

AS with its R&D facility based out of Bayan Lepas, Penang. He has

held various senior management global operation experiences in

various fields including Operation, Reliability and Failure Analysis,

Calibration Lab, New Product Introduction, NPI, Quality

Management, QM, Customer Service, CS, Product Marketing,

Product Planning, Fiber Optics Manufacturing Transfer, ISO9001,

ISO14001, OSHA18001, ISO13485, TL9000, TS16949 and EiCC.

His previous working experiences include General Manager SAM

E&E (2019-2020), Operations Manager Jabil (2018-2019) and VP

Operations Tactilis (2015-2018). He obtained his bachelor’s degree

(B. Eng (Hons) In Electrical & Electronics) at Nottingham Trent

University, United Kingdom in 1996. Later, he pursued his studies in

Master of Business Administration at University of Portsmouth,

United Kingdom in 2004. He is now the Chairman of The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (Penang

Branch) since March 2021 as well as the Executive Committee of IEEE EDS Malaysia Chapter for

2021-2022 session. His volunteer experiences include Chapter Chair, IEEE EDS, SSC, MTT (Penang

Chapter) from Dec 2018 – Dec 2020 and Vice Chairman of The Institution of Engineers Malaysia

(Penang Branch) for 2020 session.

PRINTED FLEXIBLE AND STRETCHABLE ELECTRONICS TOWARD WEARABLE

SENSING DEVICES

Prof. Dr. Norhayati Binti Soin

Abstract: The demand for printed flexible and stretchable electronics is growing fast. The rapid

expansion in smart wearable and integrated electronic devices has stimulated demand for advanced

smart systems with high performance, micro size, high reliability, mechanical flexibility, and high-

temperature stability for application as flexible and stretchable displays, personal health monitoring,

human motion capturing, smart textiles, electronic skins, flexible energy source and others. The main

requirement for these applications is flexibility and stretchability, as these devices are subject to

various mechanical deformations including twisting, bending, folding, and stretching during

operation.

The development of printed, flexible and stretchable conductors over the last decade has resulted in

commercialization of flexible and stretchable sensors for various applications, circuits, displays, and

energy harvesters for next-generation wearables and soft robotics. These systems must be able to

conform to the shape of and survive the environment in which they must operate. They are typically

fabricated on flexible plastic substrates or are printed/woven into fabrics.

This presentation will cover the development of current printable, flexible and stretchable devices

using advanced materials. The research activities at Center of Printable Electronics. Universiti

Malaya will also be highlighted.

Prof. Dr. Norhayati Binti Soin is a Professor at Department of

Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaya.

Her academic qualifications are PhD (UKM)(2006), Universiti

Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), MSc (MicroElectronic &

IT)(Liverpool, UK)(1999), Liverpool John Moores University and

BEng (Hons) (Electric & Electronic)(Liverpool, UK)(1991),

Liverpool University, Liverpool, United Kingdom. She is currently

the Director of Centre of Printable Electronics, Deputy Vice

Chancellor (Research & Innovation) from 2021-2022. Her other

administrative duties include Coordinator of PHD Program, Talent

Development committee member, JK Pemeriksa Ijazah Dasar at

Faculty of Engineering, UM. In professional bodies. Prof. Dr.

Norhayati is an active member of Institute of Electrical Engineers

Malaysia, Profesional Engineer under Board of Engineers Malaysia,

and past-Chairman of IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Malaysia Chapter for 2019 to 2020

session. Her areas of expertise are Microelectronics (Reliability of integrated circuit and semiconductor

devices, IC design and semiconductor device modeling) and Micro Electro-Mechnical System (MEMS)
