On May 30, Hanyang University held the opening ceremony for the HTRC (Hanyang University TEL Research Center) at the Main Administration Building on its Seoul Campus. HTRC is a semiconductor research and development center jointly established by Hanyang University and Tokyo Electron Technology Solutions, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electron (TEL), Japan’s largest semiconductor equipment manufacturer. This marks the first time TEL has set up an R&D center at a university in Korea.

The ceremony was attended by Won Je-캡스 토토사이트ng, Chairman of Tokyo Electron Korea; Hasebe Kazuhide, Technology Officer of Tokyo Electron Technology Solutions; Ahn Jin-ho, Executive Vice President for Research Affairs at Hanyang University; Kang Young-jong, Vice President for Industry-University Cooperation Foundation; and Jeon Hyeong-tag, Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

With the launch of HTRC, collaborative research on thin-film deposition technologies for semiconductor devices—an area that TEL and Hanyang University have explored together for several years—is expected to expand significantly. TEL also announced plans to recognize students who make major contributions to joint research and to cultivate them as future leaders in the semiconductor field. “We aim to create new enabling technologies through continued knowledge exchange with Hanyang University,” said a TEL representative.

Executive Vice President for Research Affairs Ahn Jin-ho stated, “This center will serve as a vital platform for enhancing global competitiveness through close collaboration between Hanyang’s researchers and the TEL team, and will play a central role in securing next-generation technologies in the semiconductor field.”

Kang Young-jong, Vice President for Industry-University Cooperation Foundation, added, “This marks a meaningful step forward in our long-standing partnership with TEL. By bringing together the strengths of both institutions, we hope to accelerate the development of groundbreaking new technologies.” TEL is expected to work closely with Hanyang University to advance next-generation deposition technologies.
