Taiwan Makes Innovation Real: Burn Lin and the Story of Immersion Lithography｜Full Version

"In the early 2000s, the global semiconductor industry faced a critical limit. Professor Burn Lin proposed a breakthrough idea during his years at TSMC: using water as a medium to advance semiconductor lithography beyond its existing boundaries. This film tells the true story behind immersion lithography, a technology that helped overcome one of the industry’s most important manufacturing bottlenecks and remains widely used across the global semiconductor sector today. More than a technological breakthrough, it emphasized Taiwan’s spirit of innovation: daring to challenge convention, turning bold ideas into real-world excellence, and continuing to make innovation real."
