## Timeline

- **2031**: Target for 1.4nm‑equivalent density — Huawei claims its Tau‑based approach can achieve transistor densities matching the 1.4‑nanometre process node using DUV and advanced packaging, bypassing EUV.
- **2026-06-06**: ICwise Issues Briefing on Tau Law — Shanghai-based firm ICwise publishes a note interpreting the Tau Law as an attempt to 'redefine what advanced means' beyond physical scaling.
- **2026-05**: He Tingbo Presents Tau Scaling Law at IEEE ISCAS — At the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai, He introduces the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, claiming a path to 1.4nm-equivalent chips by 2031 without EUV.
- **2026-05**: Public re‑emergence at IEEE ISCAS — He presents the Tau Scaling Law at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai, marking her first public appearance in seven years.
- **2019-05-16**: US Adds Huawei to Entity List — The US Commerce Department imposes export controls, cutting Huawei off from American technology, including advanced semiconductors and EUV lithography. He Tingbo retreats from public view.
- **2019**: He Tingbo retreats from public view — Following US sanctions on Huawei, the chip business head disappears from public industry events and media.
