Rinus Lee

Semiconductor Technologist

Hi, I’m an electrical engineer working in the semiconductor industry, where I focus on developing process technologies for angstrom-scale manufacturing. I enjoy pushing the limits of semiconductor technology and turning scientific advances into real-world applications.

I began my career in industry after completing a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the National University of Singapore in 2009. Since then, my research has focused on novel process technologies and exploratory device concepts, resulting in 116 publications, 11 invited talks, and 29 patents that have contributed to advances in transistor scaling and semiconductor innovation.

Early in my career, I received the Marubun Research Promotion Foundation Travel Grant (2006), the TSMC Outstanding Student Research Award, Gold (2007), and the TSMC Internship Program First Prize (2008). My PhD work was further recognized with the IEEE EDS PhD Fellowship (2009) and the European MRS Young Scientist Award (2009).

In industry, my contributions have been recognized with the GlobalFoundries Invention Achievement Level Awards (2017, 2020), the Best Paper Award at the TEL US Internal Technology Forum (2023), and most recently, the TEL CEO Award (2025).

I am also passionate about giving back to the IEEE community. From 2016 to 2018, I served as Chair of the IEEE EDS Chapter in Schenectady, NY, during which our chapter was named the 2017 Chapter of the Year. I have also served on the EDS Newsletter Committee (2017–2022) and on the technical program committees for MRS Spring (2017, 2019), IEDM (2020, 2021), and EDTM (2024).
