OPC+ Wins 2026 Future Tech Award
Honored to share that OPC+ has received a 2026 Future Tech Award from Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council, in the Semiconductor / Photonics / Communications category. OPC+ is, to our knowledge, the world's first universal cloud OPC platform spanning i-line, KrF, and ArF lithography — and natively correcting freeform designs like silicon photonics, metalenses, and metasurfaces from a single GPU-accelerated engine (>50× over CPU). The goal is simple: make professional-grade mask correction accessible to the fabs, fabless teams, silicon-photonics startups, and universities that can't afford multi-million-dollar EDA seats. This is a team milestone — my thanks to co-PIs Prof. Shie-Yuan Wang, Prof. Jhih-Sheng Wu and our talented students across NYCU's Photonics and Computer Science departments, TSRI for the KrF tapeout that took this from algorithm to silicon, and NSTC Taiwan Chip-based Industrial Innovation Program for Funding support . More to come.
