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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He Tingbo retreats from public view
Following US sanctions on Huawei, the chip business head disappears from public industry events and media.
He Tingbo’s public return and her Tau Scaling Law promise a 1.4nm‑equivalent process by 2031 without EUV. For investors, this raises the prospect of a rewired capital‑expenditure cycle, potential repricing of ASML and other lithography stocks, and a new growth narrative for China’s semiconductor ecosystem.
He Tingbo’s return introduces a scaling strategy that could bypass ASML’s EUV monopoly, potentially rerouting global semiconductor procurement and manufacturing networks by 2031. For supply chain leaders, this means monitoring Huawei’s research‑to‑production pivot and the reshaping of lithography equipment dependencies.
Huawei semiconductor chief He Tingbo resurfaced with the Tau Scaling Law, a concept claiming to achieve 1.4nm chip densities by 2031 without banned EUV equipment. Legal experts examine the potential to circumvent US sanctions, raising urgent questions about export control enforcement and intellectual property strategy.
