"He Tingbo, head of Huawei's semiconductor business, introduced the 'Tau Scaling Law' at an IEEE symposium in Shanghai. The law aims to achieve transistor densities equivalent to 1.4nm processes by 2031 without advanced EUV lithography. This approach seeks to bypass US sanctions that restrict access to advanced chip-making equipment."
