Greeting from Chapter Chair:

Greetings to all CPMT M’sia members!

With the new era of “Things”, we are embarking this year into a very exciting

time for the semiconductor industry, specifically in the packaging sector. For all

of us in the semiconductor industry, it has been another extremely busy year,

given the rapid recovery of the global economy.

As mentioned, the intense growth in the new trend of “Internet of Things” (IoT)

presents a formidable challenge and definitely a remarkable opportunity for

components and packaging technologists. Hence, the M’sia Chapter is planning

to organize our flagship conference based on the theme - “Packaging the IoT”.

Wong Shaw Fong

IEEE CPMT M’sia

Chair 2016

Intel Technology

This major undertaking of combining 2 technical conferences has been keeping the core team busy. The IEMT-

EMAP2016 (the 37th International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Conference and 18th Electronic

Materials and Packaging Conference) will be held at G-Hotel, Penang, in September 2016. We are very pleased

to be able to offer a similar standard of reception for the joint conference per previous IEMT events despite

pressing financial times. Moreover, despite challenging global economics, the overseas participants from

China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States of America,

formed ~35% of the total abstract submissions. We also have some exciting programs prepared, consisting of

established trainers or renowned speakers for short courses and keynote deliveries. Furthermore, the

organizing team has extended our invitation to some distinguished speakers to provide 16 invited papers as

well as a few specially arranged and dedicated sessions to fully engage our local and international technologists

in this year’s major event. You can refer to the official website of the IEMT2016 for more details.

This year, the team has discussed about some vibrant activities to be hosted and engaged into by the M’sia

Chapter. There are many reach-out opportunities that we plan to partner with our regional CPMT chapters to

exchange knowledge and ideas. We will deliver some keynote speeches and technical invited papers to

various regional conferences. We have embarked on cooperative efforts with Collaborative Research in

Engineering, Science and Technology (CREST) in order to develop some potential electronic packaging related

project clusters. Kindly contact any one of the year 2016 Exco if you are interested to participate. Last but not

least, it will be a very great honor for all the dedicated members here to work together to build a passionate

chapter, within R10 and, to a larger extent, with our HQ CPMT at Santa Clara. I strongly believe we can

maintain the good linkage with our long-time established friends aside from the technical knowledge

exchanges. We are planning to reward our long time loyal members with some membership recognition

program - please stay tuned for future announcements of the details.

I wish you all a fantastic year in 2016 and hope to see your strong participation in all our exciting

activities!

37th IEMT – 18th EMAP 2016: Packaging the Internet of Things

An international event organized by the IEEE CPMT Malaysia Chapter with co-

sponsorship from CPMT society of IEEE, Santa Clara Valley Chapter. It is a major

forum, providing opportunities to network and meet leading experts, in addition to

exchange of up-to-date knowledge in the field. Since 1990’s, IEMT has gained a

reputation as a premier electronic materials and manufacturing technology

conference and well attended by experts all over the world.

This year IEMT-EMAP2016 will be held at G-Hotel, Penang. Some exciting programs which consist of established

trainers or speakers for short courses and keynote delivery. The organizing team has also extended the invitation

to some distinguished speakers to have 16 invited papers as well as a few special arranged and dedicated

CPMT-CREST Collaboration Discussion (Compiled by WONG Shaw Fong)

CPMT members participated in the CREST Industry-Academia Forum (IAF) on 7th April held in Penang. Mr Shaw

Fong Wong and Dr Tze Yang Hin were invited to facilitate the “SEMICONDUCTOR Packaging” cluster. A pre-

meeting survey was conducted to define the technology gaps required by the industry members and research

interest of fellow researchers in academia. This led to a mutual interest of enabling 3D Packaging in both

semiconductor and LED industries. Multiple building blocks were discussed in packaging architecture, materials,

processing, reliability and test. The cluster looks forward to have sustainable research pipeline which will provide

relevant technical solution to the industry.

Project Management Industry Evaluation at USM Chemical Engineering (Compiled by WONG Shaw Fong)

SF Wong, CPMT M’sia representative, was invited to participate in the CREST Industrial Event held on 20th Nov.

2015, jointly organized by CREST for “Project Management Industry Evaluation” at the School of Chemical

Engineering, USM as Industry Panel Judge. Two main topics were available for the final year students, from a

total of 16 teams to complete their project research, which included: “Renewable polymer for industry

application (electronics, food packaging)” and “In-molding polymerization for semiconductor packaging”. Each

team was given 10 minutes to present their project with judging criterions comprised of: design, innovation,

project value and also finally the oral presentations by respective groups. The sharing by the students were

exceptional and met the design objectives with some excellent idea sharing covering the impact to our electronic

industry and local community needs.

Leadership Camp and Chapter Chair Meeting (Compiled by Dr. WONG Yew Hong)

IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) participated in Leadership Camp and

Chapter Chair Meeting organized by IEEE Malaysia Section. This event was held on 12 March 2016 (Saturday) at

Grand Bluewave Hotel, Shah Alam. During the morning session, briefing was given to all chapters. There are

several key points pertaining to CPMT that were captured:

1. Reporting of Activity:

• CPMT is able to report its activity via on-line system (IEEE MGA vTools).

2. Rebate and Bonus:

• Each year, it is a must for each Chapter to hold two technical activities in order to rebate USD 200

from HQ.

• For CPMT, we get our rebate annually from Malaysia Section.

• If CPMT can organize 6 or more activities, an additional USD 75 will be given as bonus.

3. Nature of Activity:

• Administrative meeting, technical activity (conference, workshop, talk, visit, etc), non-technical

(social event) are considered IEEE activity and must be reported to IEEE.

Chapter Chair Meeting was conducted in the afternoon session. Our CPMT chapter has successfully presented:

(1) List of ExComm Members, (2) Planned Activities, and (3) Budget for the Year 2016. During the meeting, it was

suggested that for future international conference, we may engage Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau

(MyCEB) for financial and/or non-financial supports (website: www.myceb.com.my). Section also encouraged

CPMT to send Final Year Project (FYP) students to participate in Best FYP Research Award. This is to encourage

or motivate FYP students in research. Section also suggested that CPMT to organize dinner for networking or

social purpose.
