Anthony Yen

Anthony Yen is Vice President and Head of Technology Development Center, ASML and Industrial Professor in College of Semiconductor Research, NTHU. He received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Purdue University and his master's, engineer's, doctoral, and MBA degrees from MIT. From 1991 to 1997, he was with Texas Instruments as Member of Technical Staff and was on assignment at IMEC for a TI-IMEC joint program on advanced lithography. From 1997 to 2003, he was with TSMC where he first led the development of its lithography processes, making TSMC the first company to adopt 193-nm lithography in the manufacture of (0.13 micron generation) logic integrated circuits, and then co-led infrastructure development for next-generation-lithography technologies on assignment at SEMATECH. After a three-year stint at Cymer (now part of ASML) leading its marketing organization, he returned to TSMC in 2006. As head of Nanopatterning Technology Infrastructure Division, he led the development of EUV lithography, including its mask technology, and played a decisive role in developing EUVL for high-volume manufacturing. He has over 140 US patents and 100 publications on the patterning of semiconductor devices and circuits. He is a fellow of SPIE and the IEEE, and a 2018 recipient of the Outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineer Award from Purdue University School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
